In accordance with the National Sports Promotion Act, the Sports Ethics Center conducts various activities to represent and protect the rights and interests of athletes, including counseling, reporting, and investigation of human rights violations and sports corruption in the sports community, protection and support of victims, and sports ethics education.
When a report is received to the center, the investigator closely examines the data, conducts an investigation, and based on the results, requests disciplinary action from sports organizations or accuses the investigative agency through a resolution of the deliberation committee. In the process, based on careful counseling for victims, we are actively implementing victim support systems such as customized medical care, law, counseling, and physical education activities so that not a single victim is left out. In addition, it is taking the lead in improving the rights and interests of reporters and athletes by introducing an objection system to the results of the center's investigation as well as the demand for re-action in case of non-compliance by checking whether the center's disciplinary demands are implemented.
The Sports Ethics Center has been striving to protect victims through strict investigations, ensure fairness in sports, and protect human rights of athletes, regardless of their status. A total of 727 center reports were received by July this year, up 65.6% from the previous year, and the number of cases was up 49.7% from the previous year. This means that anyone can trust and report the center under Article 18 of the National Sports Promotion Act, rather than seeing it as an increase in human rights violations and corruption cases in the sports community, and that the center has become an essential and important institution for the sports community with fairness and trust.
The center is conducting a strict and meticulous investigation into the recent violence of underage students in accordance with regulations and procedures, and actively guided the victim's family on support systems such as law and medical care. Through active cooperation with investigative agencies, the center prioritizes secondary damage prevention and victim protection so that no one is left out until the results of the investigation are released. The Center considers all cases received through reports as important in principle, and strives to do its best to spread the right sports ethics culture and create a safe sports environment within the given budget and conditions. The Sports Ethics Center said, `The most important thing is the protection of victims. We will do our best to eradicate human rights violations in the sports community and to prevent victims from being alienated from the blind spot."
