International Paralympic Committee

The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) is the global governing body for the Paralympic Movement, overseeing the organization of the Paralympic Games and promoting the rights and inclusion of athletes with disabilities. Recently, the IPC made headlines by partially lifting the suspension of Russian and Belarusian athletes, allowing them to compete under their national flags at the upcoming Winter Games in Italy, a decision that contrasts with the International Olympic Committee's stricter regulations on athlete participation from these countries.
