Small group on Curacao tries to get Olympic Committee

Although the  IOC already decided in July 2007, that after the new status of the five Antillean islands, none of these islands will get their own Olympic Commitee, a small group on Curacao thinks different.

It is a fact that the population of Curacao, decided through a referendum, that they want Curacao to become an autonomous country, within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The Olympic Charter of the IOC states however that to get Olympic recognition, a country needs to be an independent State, recognized by the International Community (Art 31.1, Olympic Charter, in force as from 7 July 2007).

The IOC answered a letter of the Sport Federation of Curacao (CSF) with an email, by simply referring to their letter.
