I tend to think it certainly would have occured, and probably included just about all nations.

In July of 1996, the only countries truely at war were China and the USSR. Sure there were tensions elsewhere, but the European theatre didn't open up until around early October - several months after the games.

Possibly a better question would be did the Commonwealth games (basically all the old British colonies from all over the world) take place in 1998 (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia)? I think yes as fuel shortages may not have become so serious that even a token attempt at normality had to be cancelled.
