FRAMEWORK Sport as an universal right, and a value for social transformation and society development in an age of rights, diversity, inclusion and equality, must go beyond to a multidimensional vision, in which coexistence of different sights, approaches and expressions can be possible. Paralympic sport through a path of big transformations, progresses and achievements over seven decades, has crystallized the right to sport, for more than one million human beings with disability.

This is the challenge assumed by the Paralympic Movement in America, to be shared with the whole community of nations among the sport organization in the American continent, seeking the right development of sport in the twenty century. Sport as an effective and accessible right for all human beings without exclusion or discrimination, in a continent characterized by diversity and a substantial value: Although we are different the same sun shines to all of us."

The main richness of America is its human, cultural, ethnical, geographical and social diversity. According to this vision we welcome this great Paralympic event, New Millennium Culture.

Its implications were demonstrated and documented for over half a century, mainly in the recent twenty years with the realization of Olympic and Paralympic Games at the same level of organizational development as it will be seen in London 2012, with the autonomy and specificity of each of the two movements. America must accept this reality without delay in time.

Sending a message to achieve legitimacy in coordinated action to motivate this process, is an important issue.
