41ST UNITED NATIONS INTER AGENCY GAMES
WELCOME TO THE 41ST UNITED NATIONS
INTER-AGENCY GAMES
It gives me pleasure to welcome the athletes
and supporters to the 41st United Nations Inter-Agency Games, which are being organized
by UN Headquarters staff and hosted in New
York for the very first time.
The United Nations places great importance
on the power of sport to advance development, health, gender equality and productive
contacts among people and nations.
This event brings together the wonderfully diverse UN staff — men and women of all ages
and positions, from numerous countries and
cultures, of differing politics and sexual orientation, with responsibilities ranging from
peacekeeping to administrative support. They
bring to these Games the same traits — teamwork and mutual respect — that they show
every day, around the world, in carrying their
work as international civil servants.
I thank the New York Co-ordination Committee for organizing this event and the staff
for their support. I wish all the athletes great
success and thank them for what I know will
be impressive displays of sportsmanship and
good will.

WELCOME MESSAGE
FROM THE REPRESENTATIVE OF
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
TO THE UNITED NATIONS
It is an honor to greet all those who have gathered for the 41st United Nations Inter-Agency
Games, held for the first time in New York on
the campus of Hofstra University from the
23rd to the 27th of April 2014.
The United States of America is proud to be
the Host Country to the United Nations Headquarters in New York and also proud to welcome a unique gathering of members of the
United Nations international civil service. I
salute the important objective these games,
which is to highlight the role that sport can
play in individual development, promoting
health and gender equality.
The United Nations Inter-Agency Games represent the enduring spirit of the United Nations
Organization and its staff as they conduct
humanitarian, development, and peace operations all over the world, in the face of great
challenges and often personal risk.
I sincerely congratulate the athletes on their
preparation, wish them great success, and
trust that all participants and guests will have a
memorable experience during their visit to the
United States and the great city of New York.
Sincerely,
Samantha Power
U.S. Permanent Representative

the dignity and worth of every person and this
event provides the athletes who participate an
opportunity to develop their skills and to enjoy
the camaraderie and lasting friendships inherent in team sports.

IAG NEW YORK COORDINATION COMMITTEE
WELCOME STATEMENT
The first UN New York athletes participated in the 14th Inter-Agency Games sponsored
by the IAEA at Altmünster, Austria in 1985. At that moment, UNHQ staff acquired
their passion for these Games and dreamed of hosting one day. The long-awaited
41st United Nations Inter-Agency Games have arrived in New York and we could not
be more excited and honoured to welcome this respected gathering.
The 41st Games has the largest participation we have seen in a few years. It is gratifying to see that changing the venue to the USA may have revitalized interest.
Preparations for more than 1,000 worldwide staff competing in 14 disciplines is not
an easy task. However, the Committee placed their confidence in one another, forcefully tackled the problems and pushed forward with commitment and determination.
Our actions mirrored the very spirit of the Inter-Agency Games. We gather together,
not just to participate in our favourite sports, but to show that every day UN staff all
over the world face the most difficult challenges, often under grave and dangerous
conditions, yet resolve those problems through teamwork and dedication.
We are gratified to see all of our colleagues participating this year and we sincerely
wish each of you success in the Games. Please be assured that we will do all we can
to provide you with an enjoyable and memorable visit to New York.

41ST UNITED NATIONS INTER AGENCY GAMES
INTER-AGENCY GAMES GENERAL RULES
1. The purpose of the United Nations Inter-Agency Games (IAG) shall be to enable current and retired members of the agencies and organizations of the United Nations system and other eligible organizations to get to know each other
through sports and other recreational activities and thereby to improve mutual
understanding and work relations. The departments of Human Resources (HR)
and the various staff bodies accept that staff participating in social and sporting activities contribute to the well-being of themselves as well as to both the
organization and staff relations. Sports and other recreational activities develop
team building and drive motivation, attributes which are conducive to forming
future leaders who will be better able to fulfil the urgent jobs in times of stress.
2. The IAG shall be held yearly, preferably between 15 April and 15 May. The host
organization, in consultation with the other participating organizations, shall decide on the venue and dates of the IAG. The host organization shall choose the
disciplines, bearing in mind the number of teams participating from each organization, in each of the disciplines. Disciplines should only be included if at least
four teams are available. No location for the IAG shall be considered if the UNSSS
has designated the country, or any area within that country, a security risk.
3. Responsibility for the IAG during the tournament shall ultimately lie with the CC,
which shall be preferably composed of one non-competing representative of
each participating organization. Each competing organization may also nominate an alternate CC member who may also be a competitor. The CC should hold
its first meeting before the opening of the IAG. It shall address any business put
forward to it by the organizations´ representatives, the participating captains
or the Secretariat. They may also pass on to the Secretariat any specific issue
or group of issues to be worked on for them to report back to the CC before
the next IAG. Each participating organization shall have the right to one vote. In
the case of a tie the chairperson shall have the deciding vote. In such a case the
chairperson´s organization/agency shall have two votes.
4. The CC shall approve, amend or reject any proposals put forward to it regarding
the General or the Competition Rules or any modifications thereof. Any change
or amendment to any rule or rules shall only enter into force at the beginning of
the next IAG or immediately if the rule change(s) is approved before any games
have commenced in that particular discipline. The adoption of any rule change
or amendment shall require a simple majority of those CC members present at
the time of the vote. The working language of the CC´s meetings and correspondence shall be English and/or French. The composition of any working group or
committee including the Secretariat, which should meet outside the actual IAG,
should all come from the same duty station. This is to ensure that they can meet
on a regular basis and at the same time shall not incur any avoidable expenses.
NEW YORK 2014

5. As one of the purposes of the IAG is to promote sporting competition between
the staff of the organizations and agencies of the United Nations system, it would
be desirable that each organization or agency provides a complete team from
among their own staff members. However, in cases where this is not feasible,
combined teams are permitted. The naming of such teams shall follow the principles of the “naming convention.” The creation of mixed teams, however, should
not lead to the deliberate creation of a strong team.
5.1. A
ll disciplines should play all other teams in their specific discipline.
Only when the local infrastructure does not allow it or, because of the
number of participating teams and the limited time available, this would
be impossible then, and only then, should the discipline be formed into
groups. It is the responsibility of the discipline coordinators to decide
on the best approach depending on the given circumstances.
6. Participating organizations/agencies must normally be listed on the United Nations System document at www.unsystem.org. If not listed therein, the Secretariat will make its recommendation to the CC concerning eligibility of participation.
7. The Games shall be organized on a six-year cycle. They shall be hosted by an organization or combination of organizations from the following six duty stations and in
the following order: Paris, Geneva, New York, Rome, Nairobi and Vienna. The IAG
Secretariat shall solicit the commitment of the host organization(s) two years in advance. Should any of the six duty stations fail to commit, the IAG Secretariat shall call
for competitive bidding from all participating organizations in order to have sufficient
time to properly organize the Games.
8. The IAG official logo shall be used in all IAG matters, be it website, letterhead,
publications, or other. The Organizing Committee may, if it so wishes, design its
own logo to identify the year of the Games, and use it in addition to the official
logo.
9. The host organization, in consultation with the Secretariat, will send out invitations to participate in the IAG to all eligible organizations and agencies at the
latest four months prior to their commencement. The invitation shall include the
location, date, list of disciplines and the various costs of participation with all the
requisite deadlines for registration and payment. The host organization may stipulate the number of teams an organization may send per discipline taking into
consideration factors such as availability of acceptable accommodation, sporting facilities available and costs. It will also ensure that any organization/agency
with any outstanding bills is not invited to participate in any future Games until
all bills have been settled. The CC maintains the right to reject the participation
of individuals in accordance with the document “Penalties for Breach of Agreed
Norms” located on the CC website (http://cc.interagencygames.org).
41ST UNITED NATIONS INTER AGENCY GAMES

10. All cost of money transfers to the host organization must be covered by the
payer. The host organization(s) may refuse to accept any registration after the
specified deadline. Participants are obliged to accept the conditions of any
package deal made by the host organization/agency; this shall be a pre-requisite of participation. It must also be stressed that the IAG is organized by volunteers without any financial reserves so the timely payment of all dues cannot
be overemphasized.
11. Each organization wishing to participate in the IAG shall inform the host organization of the nominated disciplines it wishes to take part in at least two months
prior to the start of the IAG. Seeding, when applicable, is done by the host organization based on the results of the previous IAG.
12. The host Organization shall ensure that:
12.1
participants and registered supporters arriving at the venue will be
met and transported to their respective accommodations
12.2 t here is adequate free transport between the different sporting venues for both participants and registered supporters
12.3 there is adequate first aid facilities at the sporting venues
12.4 d
octors and ambulances are available for emergency calls
12.5 a
dequate physical security for all participants and supporters
12.6 t he organizers at the host venue take out adequate third party insurance to cover all participants and registered supporters
12.7 all playing facilities are of regulation size and quality
12.8 c opies of the relevant international and IAG specific rules are available
for each discipline in English and French
12.9 t here are trophies and medals for the first three winning teams only1
(any discipline taking place with less than four teams will forfeit their
right to a prize). The host organization may decide on a few exceptional individual prizes as deemed necessary.
12.10 the IAG package for the participants and supporters is arranged on
the best terms possible, the payment of which shall be the responsibility of each organizing body
1
The Control Commission has no problems with individual disciplines awarding their own peers with individual
achievement awards. However, these awards must be done within each discipline´s confines and the awards
must be self financed.
NEW YORK 2014
11
12.11 the CC has adequate office facilities to meet situated in a central
location
12.12 there are qualified coordinators and referees for each discipline
12.13 t here is an opening and a closing ceremony with the official prize giving
taking place at the closing ceremony
13. Each organization or agency shall draw up a legible list of its officials and players by discipline. The list shall be certified by the respective HR department,
thereby verifying and confirming that all the participants named are eligible to
participate according to the rules of participation. The original list shall be presented to the host organization on arrival at the IAG.
14. Any person of a participating organization or agency who has served under
contract, including supernumeraries, for at least three months or who holds a
contract of at least three months duration and, in either case, holds a contract
effective at least one month before the IAG open and during their entire duration, is eligible for selection as a member of a team. Any person who has retired
from any participating organization or agency is also eligible to participate in
the IAG.
15. Staff from different duty stations of the same organization may compete in their
own right, based on residency.
16. No individual may participate in more than one discipline. However, in order not
to leave a team undermanned the Control Commission may waive this rule in
the event of illness or accident. In the case of separate competitions for men and
for women, no woman may play in the competition for men or vice versa unless
prior approval has been obtained from the Control Commission.
17. Players may not swap teams, within the same discipline, without prior authorization from the Control Commission.
18. If an organization, for whatever reason, is disqualified then this should not affect
the results of any mixed teams which may have players on their team from the
disqualified organization. In this context the disqualified organizations´ name
shall not be mentioned in any mixed team should they win a prize.
19. Anyone participating in a competition must hold an identity card with a photograph
issued by an official body such as an organizational grounds pass, passport or national ID card or a driving licence. This identity card must be checked by the Coordinators responsible for each discipline before the first encounter. In case of dispute,
the issue will be presented to the Control Commission for decision.
12
41ST UNITED NATIONS INTER AGENCY GAMES
20. MEDICAL CERTIFICATES: If the host country or organization requires participants of any discipline to have a medical certificate then this must be complied
with and is a prerequisite for participation. The format of the medical certificate shall comply with the requirements of the host country or organization. A
note from a doctor or other medical practitioner stating that a person is fit for
work does not constitute a medical certificate in the context of the IAG. The
medical certificate must be checked by the Coordinators responsible for each
discipline before the first encounter. Any person, at any time, whether planned
or otherwise replacing a legitimate player in any discipline requiring a medical
certificate must also have the same calibre of medical certificate in order to
participate. If necessary the certificate should be obtained at the person´s own
expense from a local qualified medical practitioner. This rule shall be strictly
adhered to, there shall be no exceptions.
21. The final ranking of each team shall be determined in accordance with the procedures laid down in the relevant Competition Rules.

RÈGLEMENT GÉNÉRAL DES JEUX
INTER-ORGANISATIONS
1. Le but des Jeux inter-organisations des Nations Unies (JIO) est de permettre aux
membres actuels et retraités des institutions et des organisations du système
des Nations Unies et d’autres organismes admissibles de se rencontrer grâce au
sport et autres activités récréatives et ainsi améliorer la compréhension mutuelle
et les relations de travail. Les départements des ressources humaines et les différents organes représentants le personnel reconnaissent que la participation du
personnel aux activités sociales et sportives contribue au bien-être de chacun
ainsi qu’aux organisations et aux relations de travail. Le sport et autres loisirs
permettent de développer l’esprit d’équipe et sont un moteur de motivation, des
attributs qui sont propices à la formation des futurs responsables, qui seront ainsi
mieux en mesure d’exécuter des tâches urgentes dans des situations de stress.
2. Les JIO ont lieu tous les ans, de préférence entre le 15 avril et le 15 mai de chaque année. L’organisation hôte, en consultation avec les autres organisations
participantes, décide du lieu et des dates des JIO. L’organisation hôte choisit
les disciplines en tenant compte du nombre d’équipes de chaque organisation
participantes dans chacune des disciplines. Des disciplines ne seront incluses
que si au moins quatre équipes représentant quatre organisations distinctes sont
représentées. Un pays ne pourra accueillir les JIO si l’UNSSS l’a désigné, en entier
ou seulement pour une région et indépendamment du niveau de risque, comme
représentant un risque pour la sécurité.
3. Pendant la durée du tournoi, la Commission de contrôle (CC) est l’ultime instance responsable des JIO. La CC est composée, de préférence, d’un représentant non participant de chaque organisation participante. Chaque organisation
participante peut aussi designer un membre suppléant de la CC, qui pourra aussi
participer aux Jeux. La CC tient sa première réunion avant l’ouverture des JIO.
Elle examine toutes les questions qui lui sont posées par les représentants des
organisations, les capitaines participants et le Secrétariat. Elle peut aussi transmettre au Secrétariat tout sujet spécifique ou ensemble de questions pour que
celui-ci procède à leur analyse et en donne les résultats à la CC avant les JIO
suivants. Chaque organisation participante a une voix. En cas d’égalité de voix,
la voix du Président de la CC sera déterminante. Dans un tel cas, l’organisation
ou l’institution pour laquelle travaille le Président de la CC dispose de deux voix.
4. La CC approuve, modifie ou rejette toute proposition ou demande de modification qui lui est présentée concernant le Règlement général ou les règles de
chaque discipline. Un changement ou une modification des règles n’entrera à la
vigueur qu’au début des JIO suivants ou immédiatement si le(s) changement(s)
de règle(s) est / sont approuvés avant que les épreuves de la discipline concernée aient commencé. L’adoption de tout changement ou modification des
14
41ST UNITED NATIONS INTER AGENCY GAMES
règles ne requiert qu’une majorité simple des membres de la CC présents au
moment du vote. La langue de travail des réunions et de correspondance de
la CC est l’anglais et / ou le français. Les membres de tout groupe de travail ou
comité, y compris le Secrétariat, qui se réunissent en dehors de la période même
des JIO, doivent tous avoir le même lieu d’affectation. Il s’agit de veiller à ce qu’ils
puissent se rencontrer régulièrement et à ce qu’aucune dépense évitable ne soit
encourue.
5. L’un des buts des JIO étant de promouvoir la compétition sportive entre les
membres du personnel des organisations et institutions du système des Nations
Unies, il est souhaitable que chaque organisation ou institution présente une
équipe entièrement composée de ses propres membres du personnel. Toutefois,
si ceci n’est pas faisable, les équipes mixtes sont autorisées. La dénomination de
ces équipes doit suivre les principes des « Règles concernant la dénomination
des équipes ». La création d’équipes mixtes ne doit toutefois pas conduire à la
création délibérée d’équipes fortes.
5.1. T
outes les disciplines doivent jouer contre toutes les autres équipes
dans leur discipline spécifique. Ce n’est que lorsque l’infrastructure
locale ne le permet pas ou, en raison du nombre d’équipes participantes et le temps disponible limité, ce serait impossible, dans ce
cas la discipline sera formé en groupes. C’est la responsabilité des
coordinateurs de discipline de décider de la meilleure solution selon
les circonstances donnée.
6. Les organisations et institutions participantes doivent normalement figurer sur
la liste du système des Nations Unies disponible à www.unsystem.org ou, si ce
n’est pas le cas, le Secrétariat fera sa recommandation au Secrétariat concernant
l’admissibilité de la participation.
7. Les Jeux sont organisés en cycles de six ans. Ils sont tenus par une ou plusieurs
organisations des six lieux d’affectations et dans l’ordre suivant: Paris, Genève,
New York, Rome, Nairobi et Vienne. Le Secrétariat doit solliciter, deux ans à
l’avance, l’engagement de l’organisation ou des organisations hôte(s). Si l’un des
six lieux d’affectation ne parvient pas à le faire, le Secrétariat convoquera des appels d’offres de toutes les organisations participantes afin d’avoir suffisamment
de temps pour organiser les Jeux.
8. Le logo officiel des JIO est utilisé pour tout ce qui attrait aux JIO, que ce soit le
site web, le papier à lettre, les publications, etc. Le comité organisateur pourra,
s’il le souhaite, créer son propre logo qui servira à identifier l’année des Jeux et il
pourra l’utiliser en sus du logo officiel.
9. L’organisation hôte, en consultation avec le Secrétariat, envoie les invitations de
participation aux JIO à toutes les organisations et institutions éligibles au plus
tard quatre mois avant le début des Jeux. L’invitation doit indiquer le lieu, la
NEW YORK 2014
15
date, la liste des disciplines et les divers coûts de participation ainsi que les dates
limite pour l’inscription et le paiement. L’organisation hôte peut spécifier le nombre d’équipes qu’une organisation pourra présenter par discipline, en prenant en
considération des facteurs tels que la disponibilité de logements acceptables,
les installations sportives disponibles et les coûts. Elle doit également s’assurer que toute organisation ou institution faisant état de factures impayées ne
sera pas invitée à participer aux futurs Jeux tant que les factures n’auront pas
été payées. La Commission de Contrôle se réserve le droit de refuser la participation d’individus en conformité avec le document « Penalties for Breach of
Agreed Norms » qui se trouve sur le site Web de la Commission de Contrôle
(http://cc.interagencygames.org).
10. Le payeur aura à sa charge tous les couts liés aux transferts d’argent à l’Organisation hôte. L’Organisation hôte pourra refuser d’accepter toute inscription faite
après la fin des délais impartis. Une condition préalable à la participation est
l’acceptation par les participants des conditions des offres de séjour faites par
l’Organisation hôte. Il convient aussi de préciser que, les JIO étant organisés par
des volontaires qui ne disposent d’aucune réserve financière, le paiement de
toutes les sommes dues doit absolument être effectué dans les délais impartis.
11. Chaque organisation souhaitant participer aux JIO informe l’Organisation hôte,
au plus tard deux mois avant le début des Jeux, des disciplines auxquelles elle
souhaite prendre part. Si nécessaire, l’Organisation hôte procède à un classement des équipes ou des joueurs en fonction des résultats des JIO précédents.
12. L’Organisation hôte s’assure que :
12.1. les participants et les supporters enregistrés arrivant sur le lieux des
Jeux sont accueillis et accompagnés dans leurs logements respectifs ;

individuels exceptionnels ;
12.10. le séjour des participants et des supporters est organisé aux meilleures conditions possibles, le paiement étant à la charge de chaque
organisation participante;
12.11. la CC dispose de bureaux convenables pour ses réunions et que ceuxci sont situés dans un emplacement central ;

12.13 t here is an opening and a closing ceremony with the official prize giving taking place at the closing ceremony
13. Chaque organisation ou institution établit une liste lisible de son personnel d’encadrement et de ses joueurs pour chaque discipline. Cette liste doit être certifiée par le
département des ressources humaines concerné, qui vérifie et confirme que tous
les participants nommés sont admissibles sur la base des règles de participation. La
version originale de la liste est remise à l’Organisation hôte à l’arrivée aux JIO.
14. Tout contractuel d’une organisation ou d’un organisme participant, y compris
les surnuméraires, qui ait travaillé pendant au moins trois mois ou qui ait un
contrat d’une durée d’au moins trois mois et dont, dans les deux cas, le contrat
est en vigueur au moins un mois avant l’ouverture des JIO et durant toute leur
durée, peut être choisi comme membre d’une équipe. Toute personne retraitée
d’une organisation ou d’un organisme participant peut aussi participer aux JIO.
15. Le personnel des différents lieux d’affectation d’une même organisation peut
participer de façon autonome, en fonction de leur lieu de résidence.
NEW YORK 2014
17
16. Aucun individu ne peut participer à plus d’une discipline. Toutefois, en cas de
maladie ou d’accident, afin d’éviter qu’une équipe ne se retrouve en manque
de joueurs, la Commission de contrôle pourra déroger à cette règle. Dans le cas
d’épreuves distinctes pour les hommes et pour les femmes, aucune femme ne
pourra participer à une épreuve pour hommes, ni inversement, à moins que la
Commission de contrôle ait donné son accord au préalable.
17. Les joueurs ne pourront changer d’équipe au sein d’une même discipline sans
autorisation préalable de la Commission de contrôle.
18. Si une organisation est disqualifiée, quelle qu’en soit la raison, ceci n’aura pas
d’effet sur les résultats des équipes mixtes dont certains joueurs appartiennent
à l’organisation disqualifiée. Dans ce cas, si une équipe mixte gagne un prix, le
nom de l’organisation disqualifiée ne sera pas mentionné.
19. Toute personne participant à une épreuve doit être titulaire d’une pièce d’identité
avec photographie délivrée par un organisme officiel, tel qu’une autorisation d’entrée dans les installations d’une organisation, un passeport, une carte nationale
d’identité ou un permis de conduire. La pièce d’identité doit être vérifiée par les
coordonnateurs responsables de chaque discipline avant la première rencontre
sportive. En cas de litige, la question sera résolue par la Commission de contrôle.
20. CERTIFICATS MEDICAUX: Si le pays ou l’Organisation hôte demande aux participants d’une discipline d’être en possession d’un certificat médical, alors cette obligation doit être respectée et constitue une condition préalable à la participation.
Le format du certificat médical doit être conforme aux exigences du pays ou de
l’Organisation hôte. Un rapport d’un médecin ou autre professionnel de la santé
attestant que la personne est apte au travail ne constitue pas un certificat médical
dans le contexte des JIO. Le certificat médical doit être vérifié par les coordonnateurs responsables de chaque discipline avant la première rencontre sportive. Toute
personne qui, à n’importe quel moment et que ce soit prévu ou non, remplace un
joueur dans n’importe quelle discipline pour laquelle un certificat médical est exigé
doit également présenter un certificat médical de la même teneur afin de pouvoir
participer. Si nécessaire, le certificat devra être obtenu localement, aux frais de la
personne concernée, auprès d’un professionnel de la santé dûment qualifié. Cette
règle doit être strictement respectée, aucune dérogation n’y sera faite.
21. Le classement final de chaque équipe est déterminé conformément à la
procédure prévue dans les règles de la discipline concernée.
