Abstract
This chapter introduces the topic of sport as a human rights field. In recent years it is clear that athletes have experienced a variety of human rights violations. As a result, many sports programs have been confronted with criminal violations of abuse and maltreatment. Some sports organizations are developing athlete bills of rights in response. This chapter provides an overview of the different types of human rights issues that concern athletes and sports programs and the issue of how organizations are addressing safety and human rights issues. It sets the stage for the remaining chapters in this book.
