The Athlete Charter of Rights and Responsibilities aims to articulate the rights of athletes, and their responsibilities in a document developed through an inclusive process. The goal is a charter of fundamental principles that are both universal and flexible enough to adapt to athletes’ needs across the full range of sports and countries.
This is an athlete-driven initiative, developed by athletes, for athletes. A Steering Committee of 20 athlete representatives from around the world, assembled by the Athletes’ Commission (AC) of the IOC, is coordinating the project.
The Steering Committee now calls for athletes to share their voice, to empower and protect them and to shape the Athlete Charter of Rights and Responsibilities.
Athletes who are already registered to IOC’s Athlete365 platform should have already received an email from the Steering Committee, with the link to complete the survey.
Those who are not yet registered can go to www.olympic.org/athlete365/athletecharter to sign up and take the survey.
On the same page, athletes will find out more information about the project, including the current draft of the Athlete Charter.
The ISSF encourages all the athletes to participate in the survey, to help shaping this fundamental Charter.
