The human rights of the child were recognized in the UN's 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child, which was ratified by 192 countries. Paulo David's work makes it clear, however, that too often competitive sport has yet to recognize the value of respect for international children’s rights norms and standards. Human Rights in Youth Sport offers critical analysis of some very real problems within youth sport and argues that the future development of sport depends on the creation of a child-centered sport system. Areas of particular concern include issues of over training, physical, emotional and sexual abuse, doping and medical ethics, education and child labor. The text also examines the specific responsibilities and accountabilities of parents, coaches and managers and should be essential reading for anybody with an interest in the ethics of sport, youth sport, coaching and sports development.
