Les Jeux Olympiques se celebrent tous les quatre ans. Ils reunissent les amateurs
de toutes les nations, sur un pied d’egalite aussi parfait que possible.
(Olympic Charter, 1923)

1. The Olympic Games are held every four years and assemble amateurs of all nations in fair and equal competition under conditions which are to be as
perfect as possible. No discrimination is allowed against any country or
person on grounds of colour, religion or politics.
(Olympic Charter, 1949)

4. The aims of the Olympic Movement are to promote the development of
those fine physical and moral qualities that come from contests on the friendly
fields of amateur sport and to bring together the youth of the world in a
great quadrennial sport festival, thereby creating international respect and goodwill, and helping to construct
a better and more peaceful world. (Olympic Charter, 1958:9)

What is Fair Play if it is not dignity and self-respect? Human dignity as it is defined in the Charter of Human Rights. Each one of us, every person on this Earth, possesses this dignity, not acquired at the price of
some achievement, butnaturally inherent to mankind. It exists independently of social rank, position or
wealth. It cannot cease to exist, but must constantly re-assert itself .
(Juan Antonio Samaranch in IOC 88th Session, 1984:40)

8 - The practice of sport is a human right. Every
individual must have the possibility of practising
sport in accordance with his or her needs.
(Olympic Charter, 1996:9)

Does the philosophy of Olympism extend to the
project of human rights promotion?
