Under the agreement, the three organizations agreed to cooperate on ▲ the recommendation of members of the Korea Sports Council and member organizations (provincial sports councils and sports organizations) Sports Fair Committee and various committees ▲ Support for legal disputes such as various lawsuits and administrative trials ▲ Consultation and interpretation of authority on legal issues related to the operation of sports organizations ▲ Other matters requiring mutual cooperation.
The Korea Sports Association said, "This agreement is expected to establish a fair and transparent sports administration base and strengthen a victim protection-oriented response system by conducting legal reviews and professional advice more systematically in the major decision-making process of sports organizations."
"Through cooperation with organizations representing the legal community, we will be able to further strengthen the institutional foundation for restoring trust in the sports community and spreading fair sports culture," Yoo Seung Min said. "We will continue to improve the field and system to protect the human rights of athletes and realize justice in the sports community."
