On July 24, 2008, the
International Olympic Committee (IOC) banned
Iraq from competing in the 2008 Olympic Summer Games because of "political interference by the government in sports."
[92][93] On July 29, the IOC reversed its decision and allowed the nation to compete after a pledge by Iraq to ensure "the independence of its national Olympics panel" by instituting fair elections before the end of November. In the meantime, Iraq's Olympic Organisation was run by "an interim committee proposed by its national sports federations and approved by the IOC."

Concerns and controversies
The banner reads: "Human Rights Abuse Cannot Co-exist with Beijing Olympics", picture taken during the opening of the
Human Rights Torch Relay event
A variety of concerns over the Games, or China's hosting of the Games, had been expressed by various entities; including allegations that China violated its
pledge to allow open media access,
[101] various alleged human rights violations,
[102][103][104] its continuous support of repressive regimes (such as
Zimbabwe,
Myanmar,
Sudan, and
North Korea),
air pollution in both the city of Beijing and in neighbouring areas,
[105][106] proposed
boycotts,
[107][108] warnings of the possibility that the Beijing Olympics could be targeted by terrorist groups,
[109] potentially violent disruption from pro-Tibetan protesters,
[110] and religious persecutions.

It was seen as a symbol of a symbol of China's pride and place in the world, while protests against the relay that occurred overseas were presented in the state media as the attempt of foreigners to deny the Chinese people that place.
[122] The Olympics seem to have also bolstered some domestic support for the Chinese government, and support for the policies of the
Communist Party of China, giving rise to concerns that the state will possibly have more leverage to disperse
dissent, at least momentarily.

Some sectors of the economy may have benefited from the influx of tourists, and other sectors such as manufacturing lost revenue because of plant closings related to the government's efforts to improve air quality. It is generally expected by economists that there will be no lasting effects on the city's economy from the games.
