Abstract
Today, human rights at the heart of those social movements in the world and in our country that are founded on democracy and man as its original element. There are various forms of violation of human sights that must be defended again and again. It is true that human rights in sports and everywhere have their outer form that is clearly declared, but as a rule their implementation can be long and difficult. All people as well as sportists are becoming more aware of their rights and more been violated, particularly those that involve the dignity and integrity of the individual.
The violation of human rights in sports has a double significance:
- the feeling of frustration in sportists who allows to be manipulated out of desire to achieve higher scores
- a greater social significance in that violation of human rights is not one of the problems of modern democracy but its central issue.
If that is the case, we have to fight against violation of human rights in all areas of life, sport included.
