The meeting, held in the conference room of the Mapo-gu Center in Seoul on the 24th, was organized to hear the voices of the field with the aim of building a reliable sports ecosystem for all athletes, leaders, parents and related organizations.
The meeting discussed mutual efforts to ensure that the opinions of field sports leaders can be reflected in the process of producing human rights education contents for athletes, and to protect the human rights of athletes, leaders, and athletes through regular communication and to create a healthy leadership culture and trust-based training environment.
At the meeting, the National Council of Leaders asked for the protection of the rights and interests of national leaders and the improvement of human rights education, and delivered a proposal containing ▶ Strengthening fairness in investigation procedures ▶ institutional preparation of leaders' protection devices ▶ reflecting leaders' opinions in the process of producing human rights education ▶ establishing a win-win cooperation system. In particular, he requested to clearly notify the leader in advance of facts and reports, prepare standards to prevent excessive prolongation of the investigation period, supplement procedures that substantially reflect the leader's explanation and submission of data, and prepare official honor recovery measures (notification of documents, correction of records, etc.) in case of innocence, reflecting concerns that the leaders' right to defend them is not sufficiently guaranteed during the current investigation. It also called for strengthening the innocence review system for clear malicious reports, establishing a legal counseling and legal support system for leaders, and dealing with leader protection in a balanced way along with player protection. He also requested that leaders participate in the process of producing human rights education contents and guidelines, and suggested a win-win policy to communicate through regular meetings twice a year.
Kang Ho-seok, president of the National Council of Leaders, said "Leaders are committed to the athletes and the country, but they are suffering a great mental contraction at the leadership site due to lack of procedural protection. We hope that a fair investigation environment and a balanced human rights system will be established." Chairman Park Ji-young was a former athlete and athlete, so we could communicate well with each other even though it was our first meeting. We will continue to communicate closely for the human rights of both players and leaders in the future."
