Vital that sports bodies conduct real #humanrights #duediligence when awarding events. This needs to be systematically embedded, influence decision-making, and seek positive change, not reward rights-abuses. #sporthumanrights #bizhumanrights

Caster Semenya's struggle to compete continues. The human rights challenges her case raised have not been solved by CAS nor the Swiss Federal Supreme Court. The world of sport must be open to further dialogue and action to find solutions. @caster800m #SportAndRights #HumanRights
