Improving Legal Mechanisms to Protect Rights in Sports
Congress Centre, conference hall B3
Broadcast
Russian sport is going through some difficult times due to external pressure and isolation. A perfect example of the unsportsmanlike behaviour shown by international organizations was the ban on Russian Paralympians, tennis players, football players, chess players, and even e-sportsmen participating in tournaments. The mass suspension of Russian athletes could drag on and lead to them being excluded from the Olympic Games and other international competitions. Discrimination, exclusion, and various kinds of restrictions are not only violations of the rights of athletes, but also of the human right to work. This obviously jeopardizes the fundamental principles of the sport. What are some of the current problems in sport that are preventing citizens from realizing their right to play sports? What are some of the legal aspects of the development of sports, as well as legal protection and guarantees for participants in both Russian and international sporting events? What is in store for Russian sport in the near future and what role could law play in its fate? What are the main problems in realizing the right to sport? How and when will Russian sport make its return to the international stage?
