The Sports Ethics Center, under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (Acting Director Han Min-su), operated on-site human rights protection activities in collaboration with the Korea Olympic Committee and 19 sports associations during the 107th National Sports Festival held from October 16 to 22 on Jeju Island.

Human rights protection officers of the Sports Ethics Center are official professional personnel operating under the National Sports Promotion Act, serving as a state-level system dedicated to preventing and responding to human rights violations across the sports sector.

During this National Sports Festival, the Center dispatched and deployed human rights protection officers to 18 sports events. They carried out preventive activities and on-site monitoring to eliminate blind spots in human rights protection, working alongside athletes, coaches, and others.

In addition, the dispatched human rights protection officers conducted human rights protection support activities to ensure that athletes are respected and can participate in competitions as active agents on-site, while also taking proactive measures such as handling on-site grievances.

Acting Director Han Min-su of the Sports Ethics Center stated, "Above all, prevention is the top priority. In a sports environment where the human rights of athletes and coaches on-site are not respected, the likelihood of human rights violation incidents occurring is inevitably higher." He added, "The Center will continue its on-site-centered human rights protection activities, listening to the voices of sports people anytime and anywhere, and contributing to the creation of a healthy sports culture where all sports people can focus on competitions and training with peace of mind."
