On March 26, 1961 in Paris, under the auspices
of the World Veterans Federation (WVF), the International Sports
Organization for Disabled (ISOD) was established, first as as
International Working Group on Sports for the Disabled -- Conseil
international des sports pour handicapés (CISH). ISOD offered
opportunities for those athletes who could not affiliate to ISMGF (now
ISMWSF): blind, amputees, cerebral palsied and paraplegics The Statutes were presented
and adopted on June 18, 1964 (that is most likely the year in which
the logo and the flag were adopted). In 2004 (other sources mention
October 2003) it was decided that the ISMWSF and ISOD should
merge to continue to help grow the Paralympic movement – and Para
sport more generally. As a result the International Wheelchair and Amputee Sports Federation
(IWAS) was formed in 2005
and is still based in Aylesbury. The flag used by ISOD was their logo in blue color the middle over a white horizontal background.
