• to participate in activities which support peace and promote women in sport and to take responsible account of environmental and sustainable development issues.

• to create, organise and lead the French delegation for the Olympic Games and for regional, continental or world multi-sport competitions sponsored by the IOC. In that regard, the committee must participate in the Games of the Olympiad by enrolling athletes into the games and is responsible for the behaviour of the members of its delegations.
