This document discusses the organizational implications of implementing a Declaration of Human Rights in sport. It notes that while the concept is sound, putting it into practice faces challenges. Grassroots sport organizations may not have the ability or willingness to implement new policies without support. The document examines lessons from implementing children's rights and anti-harassment policies, finding issues with lack of awareness, complex information, and the need for cultural change, training, and guidance. It also discusses ensuring cultural sensitivity, clear leadership, engaging stakeholders, and utilizing existing networks to successfully implement human rights standards globally in a way that considers local realities.

Strategic Plan for the United Nations Environmental Protection

Part I. The Fundamentals
The United Nations Environmental Protection (UNEP) has core values that guide its strategic planning and decisions. They are; respect for diversity, professionalism, and integrity. They should be practiced and upheld by every individual working for or allied to the organization as means of fostering the organization’s culture. Respect for diversity means that the organization is committed to upholding diversity in all areas including human diversity such as treating men and women equally. Integrity means that the organization’s decisions and acts are carried out in a manner which is for the common good and not for personal gain (Ivanova, 2010). Professionalism entails demonstrating professional competence as well as mastery of subject matter when implementing strategic decisions.
The core values are aligned with advocacy, leadership, and social change. UNEP professionally advocates for various methods that ensure the environment is not exposed to harm by humans. For instance, it recommends ways through which carbon emissions by automobiles can be reduced. More so, it researches and presents findings on climate change and global warming. For instance, its 2017 report indicated that the emission gap could not be closed by 2030 as predicted (The Emissions Gap Report 2017, 2017). Essentially, the organization has been advocating for most effective strategies that can be implemented in curbing climate change and global warming while also evaluating whether laid measures are giving promising results.
The core values are aligned with leadership as the organization serves as the role model that other organizations and people want to follow. More so, UNEP has been leading the way while showing courage through taking the unpopular stands to realize change and improvement. Further, UNEP has been proactive in developing leadership strategies that help translate vision into results through partnering with other bodies and agencies. Essentially, the organization has shown leadership in the way it relates with other internal and external parties.
UNEP has also aligned its core values with social change. It is a major organization that has promoted measures against climate change. For instance, the organization has been offering civic education on bioenergy sources which have been proven more effective and less harmful on the environment. Social change is being attained through putting in place measures that protect the environment from harm hence upholding diversity which is part of the societies. Providing civic education has been impactful in changing lives as the organization enables individuals to utilize resources mor ...

As countries continue to invest and make strides toward achieving the SDGs and universal health coverage, strong routine health information systems (RHIS) are fundamental to the effort. Well-functioning RHIS provide a wealth of data on a country’s health system, including service delivery, availability of a trained workforce, and reach of interventions, that can be harnessed to identify gaps and support evidence-based decision making. Yet, while many low-to-middle income (LMIC) countries have established a national RHIS structure, there are existing challenges related to the availability, analysis, and use of the data that have yet to be addressed.

Sport associated with
promotion and deprivation of
human rights (Donnelly, 2008)
Declaration of Human Rights

about in Practice?

5. What do we know about
implementations of
formalized rights in sport?
7. The Structure of Swedish Sport
Source: Riksidrottsförbundet, 2012
8. Swedish Sport Policy
In 2009, a children’s rights perspective was
included in Swedish Sport Policy based on
the United Nations Convention on the Rights
of the Child
Eliasson (2015) explored the lived realities of
actors at the grassroots level during 2011 and
2012.
9. Formalized vs. Actual Rights and Realities
Neither children or coaches in Swedish sport
clubs were aware of SSC’s incorporation of
Children’s Rights in Swedish sport policy
Findings also indicated lack of knowledge of the
UNCRC
Interviewees did not find policy document
meaningful since they had not experienced any
deliberate work regarding children’s rights in their
respective sport clubs
Source: Eliasson, 2015
10. Sport Clubs as Policy
Implementers?
Dangerous to assume sport clubs are “ready,
willing, and able” to act as policy
implementers (p. 2).
Empirical findings indicate considerable
differences depending on the identity of an
organization
Heterogeneity creates challenge in terms of
policy-practice alignment
Source: Stenling and Fahlén, 2014
12. Child Protection in Sport Efforts
Lack of awareness and knowledge -> uneducated
assumptions among many grassroots leaders
Access to information perceived as complex and
too difficult for sport club personnel
Unwillingness to challenge assumptions point to
need (yet difficulty) for cultural change within sport
community
Source: Brackenridge, 2002
13. Child Protection in Sport Efforts
Need for vertical and horizontal policy alignment across
sport governing bodies
Cascade training system could provide a valuable
implementation strategy
Considerable need for training and guidance for more
efficient management
Policy should be based on empirical research rather
than in reactive response to demands for action
Source: Brackenridge, 2002; Fransson, 2009; Rhind et al., 2015
14. Additional Sport Policy
Considerations
Volunteers may interpret and adapt policies through the
lens of local perspectives (Skille, 2008)
Important to avoid policy assumptions of fixed realities
and instead embrace the flexibility of the real world
(Donaldson, Legget, & Finch, 2011; Kokko, Kannas, &
Villberg, 2009; Nichols & James, 2008)
Similar examples found in Sport-for-Development with
discrepancies between policy discourses and local
practices (e.g., Hasselgård & Straume, 2015)
15. Voices from the Field
Grassroots leaders have expressed the need for
volunteer-driven nature of sport to be incorporated in sport
policy (Donalson et al., 2011)
Considerable ambiguity in operationalization of youth
sport harassment policies (Donnelly, Kerr, Heron, &
DiCarlo, 2016)
Specific policy recommendations include:
Flexibility for overcoming contextual challenges
Simplify and define terminology
Provide details on mechanisms for supporting implementation
Consider incremental implementation process
16. What about the ‘universality’
of human rights?
Foreseeable concerns among sport organizations in
different across different contexts
17. Universality of Human Rights
Does a declaration of human rights imply or reinforce
Western ideals?
Concerns raised by several post-colonialist theorists
regarding Human Rights Declarations
Yet, the Universal Declaration must remain the
foundation of any Human Rights discussion (Giulianotti,
2004)
Others argue for ‘relative’ universality of human rights
allowing for regional and cultural diversity (Donnelly,
2007)
18. Universality of Human Rights
Achieving universal acceptance of norms is a
process
Acceptance must come from within a given region
for sustainability
This does not mean the creation of regional
human rights
Instead, the use of regional supervision of
compliance with the international standards
Source: Cerna, 1994
19. What is required for
successful implementation of
a Declaration of Human
Rights in Sport?
20. Pillars of Successful Implementation
• Domestically and InternationallyCultural Sensitivity
• Co-ordination across Sport Eco-SystemHolistic
• Provide value for volunteer leaders/orgs.Incentives
• Clear and coherent coordinationLeadership
• Openness to local realitiesDynamic
• Specify what will be providedResources
• Inclusive and active decision-makingEngaging Stakeholders
• Allow for collective impactNetworks
Source: International Safeguarding Children in Sport Working Group, 2011; Mountjoy et al., 2015
21. Youth Perspectives
Lessons learned from Youth at the UN
Conference on ‘Reaffirming Human Rights for
All’:
Imperative to make human rights relatable
through personalized stories
Education is crucial, yet many states do not
want people to learn about their rights
NGOs serve important roles to overcome this
barrier in local communities
Source: Kuriansky, 2009
22. Athlete-Centered Approach?
Most sport organizations are driven by member
participants so why not utilize this resource?
An athlete-centered approach would require
stakeholders to ask themselves, what a given
action be in the best interest of the rights of the
athlete?
Participants’ rights would guide nature and delivery
of sport programs
Source: Fransson, 2009
23. Moving Forward
Human
Rights
in Sport
Normalize what
human rights
norms are
desirable in sport
Analyze actual
situation and
develop
appropriate
strategies needed
for change
