The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the participation of the Denis Law Legacy Trust in the 2024 Global Peace Games; understands that a team of staff and young volunteers from the charity was the first team to represent Scotland at the games, which were held in Mesen, Belgium; notes that the team joined representatives from over 16 countries to take part in a week-long programme of sport, games and remembrance; recognises that the Global Peace Games were inspired by the 1914 Christmas truces; understands that, in the run up to International Day of Peace, participants in the Games took part in an interactive walk on remembrance, a bike ride to the site of the truces, as well as visiting Passchendaele Museum, Peace Pool and the war graves of the Gordon Highlanders in Tyne Cot, with four young people laying commemorative poppy footballs in memory of the fallen, with the support of officers from the Royal Artillery; commends the work carried out by the Denis Law Legacy Trust, and wishes it all the best for the future.
