L'idée de la Trêve olympique, l'«ekecheiria», provient de la profonde conviction que le sport et les idéaux olympiques peuvent contribuer à la création d’un monde meilleur et pacifique. Toute initiative en faveur du dialogue, de la réconciliation, de la compréhension mutuelle, de la solidarité et de la paix constitue les principaux objectifs des efforts entrepris. La Trêve olympique, un effort de l'humanité entière, a pour but de souligner l'importance du respect d’une coexistence pacifique. La notion de Trêve Olympique est inéluctablement liée aux Jeux olympiques de la Grèce antique. À partir du septième jour avant l'ouverture des Jeux jusqu'au septième après leur terme, les hostilités cessaient afin de permettre aux athlètes, aux artistes et aux spectateurs de voyager jusqu'à Olympie, pour participer aux Jeux et retourner dans leur patrie en toute sécurité. 2, record 2, French, - Tr%C3%AAve%20Olympique

According to the coordinator, FIBA is the only abbreviation used by the International Basketball Federation and is therefore correct in English and French. The acronym FIBA is in fact used in all languages to refer to the Federation. The word "Amateur" was dropped in 1989 after the distinction between amateurs and professionals was eliminated. The "A" in FIBA remains for traditional reasons. 4, record 3, English, - International%20Basketball%20Federation
