ABUSE IN SPORT, CHILD PROTECTION AND SAFEGUARDING POLICIES
The Author focuses on abuse in sport, especially against minors, and offers
a review of the main International and European legal and non-legal instruments
available to tackle this hateful and intolerable plague. In particular, the Author’s analysis
is centered on the safeguarding policies adopted both at International level by the
International Olympic Committee (IOC), and, more recently, at national level and on
the importance of raising awareness on abuse in sport and educating people to deal
with it.

AND AMENDMENTS TO THE OLYMPIC CHARTER.
IS SPORT MOVING TOWARDS MORE EFFECTIVE PROTECTION
OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND GENDER EQUALITY?
The paper focuses on the protection of human rights of non-binary athletes (transgender athletes and athletes with sex variations). Starting from the Semenya case and the ruling of the European Court of Human Rights, the Author analyses the most recent initiatives adopted by the sports movement, i.e. International Olympic Committee (IOC) and International Federations (IFs). In particular, the Author underlines the complexity of the issue at hand and the importance of tackling it with an approach free from any ideological prejudice.
