International sports federations refuse to suspend Israel despite destruction of sports in Gaza and killing of hundreds of athletes (Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, 2025-08-11)
>> The refusal of international and continental sports federations to suspend Israel’s membership, 22 months after its perpetration of genocide in the Gaza Strip, constitutes a blatant violation of the values and principles they claim to uphold. It reflects a selective, double-standard application of the rules governing the participation of states, clubs, and individuals in international and continental competitions …
>> The normalisation by sports federations of the participation of representatives of a state committing genocide is not only a legal violation but also an unprecedented moral failure.
