Launched in 2018 and founded by Mary Robinson, former president of Ireland and former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the Centre for Sport and Human Rights is a human rights organization for the world of sport, seeking to close the gap between the promise and the reality of sport. Their mission is to advance a world of sport that fully respects and promotes human rights by generating awareness, building capacity, and delivering impact.
The Centre for Sport and Human Rights are dedicated to fulfilling their mission for the benefit of people and communities affected or impacted by sport, namely: athletes, workers, communities, fans, volunteers, coaches, officials, administrators, and journalists, with a particular focus on the rights of at-risk, vulnerable and historically disadvantages groups around the world.
The Centre for Sport and Human Rights has a unique governance structure with the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) and the International Labour Organization (ILO) as formally part of their governance alongside leading global bodies representing workers, employers, and atheletes.
