Mission

The mission of NAOC, as it is set out in the Olympic Charter, is to develop and protect the Olympic Movement in the Netherlands Antilles. NAOC propagates the fundamental principles of Olympism at the national level, within the framework of sports activities, and contributes to the diffusion of Olympism.

The goal of the Olympic Movement is to contribute to building a peaceful and better world by educating youth through sport practiced without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play.

NAOC aims to promote sport as a positive and powerful force for all Antillean athletes. In doing so, NAOC will help ensure that sport continues to contribute to the physical, social and moral development on all Antillean islands.
