INTERNATIONAL SPORTS LAW

It is with regret Tonga Tag™ reports some orginizations representing their nations are in violation of freedom of choice and unjust individual limitation under the Human Rights & Anti-Discrimination Provisions in Sports Treaties

[Article 1] of the Charter specifically mentions "...every human being's fundamental right of access to physical education and sport". Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

(II) 2001 - Article 4(1) prohibits discrimination in access to sports facilities or sports activities on the grounds of sex, race, colour, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, association with a national minority, property, and birth or other status.

Tonga Tag™ WILL NOT sanction any team or persons to represent Tonga in any Tag code, Tournament, Event, Club or Orginization that is in violation of the above Sporting Statue or any policies, rules and regulations of our affiliated governing Bodies mention above.
