In the Tokyo Olympics, Raven Saunders, Bao Shanju and Zhong Tianshi were questioned by the IOC and got warnings due to their “performance of political demonstration” at the Olympic podium. We saw something similar during the 2012 London Olympic Summer Games when an indigenous boxer of Australia, Damien Hooper, was nearly disqualified from the Olympic competition for entering the ring wearing the Aboriginal flag shirt of Australia. The Olympics has had a history of maintaining a hypocritical form of political neutrality over the years. The Olympic Charter talks about sport being an essential medium in advancing the human rights of various individuals from different countries. However, it also chooses to stay neutral and gives preference to host nations. “Freedom of opinion and expression”, is a fundamental right enshrined in core international and regional human rights treaties and national laws. But it is also to be taken note that this freedom is restricted due to the “legitimate aims” of these treaties and laws. The Olympic Charter has followed suit and enacted a certain rule that prevents athletes from making demonstrations at the Olympic sites under the threat of disciplinary sanctions.

The myth of a “human right to sport”: how human rights can lead to true inclusion for children with disability

Fundamental Principle 4 of the Olympic Charter provides, ‘[t]he practice of sport is a human right’. However, to think of the practice of sport as a human right is misleading and potentially unhelpful to the true inclusion of children with disability in sport. The various permutations of a human right to sport—a right in sport; a right to participate in sport; a right to the practice of sport; and a right to sport—result in an attitude that children with disability are provided sporting opportunities in a way that are separate, segregated, or unnecessarily different. In this article, we argue that sport should be thought about and analysed through a different human right: the right to non-discrimination. If the right being applied to the experience for a child with a disability in sport, is that of non-discrimination, then the aim is to provide the child with the same experience as a mainstream child. This also means that the focus changes from providing a right to ‘sport’, which results in access to simply the physical activities of sport and shifts to the experience the child has within a sport. Most importantly, the human right to non-discrimination means that a child with disability should have the opportunity to be included in mainstream sport, with adjustments to provide them with a fair and meaningful contest.

one's personal learning style in order to make sure the elearning course you choose will meet your expectations. My personal style with law is to absorb as much as I can until I can't take any more. How much depends on the topic. The three areas I found particularly tricky were Criminal law; all those definitions are so important and yet hard to commit to memory. Civil procedure is quite a labyrinth too and defamation sounds reasonably straight forward but is not that easy to grasp beyond the basic concepts. AND FINALLY… I took the Legal Foundations Course as a refresher and as a personal challenge to see if I could e-learn effectively. Unfortunately I fell into the same trap as the first time and went on holiday while the first lectures were released on the system. Will I ever learn?! Or should I say elearn?! Well one of the beauties of e-learning, is that unlike conventional lectures, the material was waiting for me upon my return. It took extra time to catch up but once I had, I tackled each new topic with gusto as soon as it became available. Personally I think I could get quite addicted to e-learning. For the most part it's just you the learner and the subject matter itself, which is the way I like it. No travel, no Tuesday evenings taken up for months, and I can organise my own tea and biscuits! So yes it's a bit of a revolution! Why don't you give it a whirl yourself… Bibliography
