  • Mr. Thomas Bach President International Olympic Committee Château De Vidy Case Postale 356 1001 Lausanne, Switzerland
    Mr. Thomas Bach President International Olympic Committee Château de Vidy Case postale 356 1001 Lausanne, Switzerland Dear President Bach: Human Rights First welcomed your successful efforts and those of the entire International Olympic Committee to amend Principle 6, the anti-discrimination provision of the Olympic Charter, to include specific reference to sexual orientation. As you know, discrimination and violence against lesbians, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people is of great concern worldwide, and the IOC’s leadership on this issue stands as an example to all. This important advance is now facing a critical test. Kazakhstan, a country that is vying to host the 2022 Winter Olympic Games, is considering legislation patterned on a controversial Russian law that would ban "propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations." The bill has been passed by the Kazakh legislature. If it is signed into law, it will threaten the fundamental freedoms, and indeed the safety, of LGBT people in Kazakhstan. Because of Kazakhstan’s Olympic bid and the clarity of Principle 6, you and the IOC are in a unique position to weigh in on this pending law. We ask you to urge Kazakh President Nursultan Nazabayev to honor his country's international human rights commitments and reject the homophobic bill now awaiting his signature. The situation for members of the LGBT community in Kazakhstan is already precarious. Many LGBT people face discrimination and violence; some remain closeted out of fear. Police have failed consistently to respond to acts of violence against LGBT people, and in some cases police have perpetrated these acts. A recent wave of homophobic rhetoric has included calls for blood tests to identify and root out gay men.

Od vlaňajšieho marca, keď Medzinárodný olympijský výbor (MOV) prijal po vypuknutí pandémie COVID-19 bezprecedentné rozhodnutie o presune Hier II. olympiády na rok 2021, sa objavilo veľa skeptických hlasov. U nás, i v samotnom Japonsku. Bol som opti- mista, v čom ma utvrdzovali správy od organizátorov. Od začiatku tvrdili, že hry usporiadajú a ich prioritou je predovšet- kým bezpečnosť. Otázka teda nemala znieť, či hry budú, ale ako budú vyzerať. Som presvedčený, že nás čakajú zlo- mové olympijské hry.
