Value proposition

Sharing knowledge, building capacity, increasing accountability on human rights across the world of sport

Launched in June 2018, the Centre for Sport and Human Rights brings together an unprecedented alliance of intergovernmental organisations, governments, sports bodies, athletes, hosts, sponsors, broadcasters, civil society representatives, trade unions, employers and their associations, and national human rights institutions.

Based in Geneva, the Centre works towards a world of sport that fully respects human rights by sharing knowledge, building capacity, and strengthening the accountability of all actors through collective action.

Our Founding Patron is Mary Robinson, former President of Ireland and former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.
