¿Un Derecho internacional del deporte? Reflexiones en torno a una rama del Derecho internacional público in statu nascendi

Abstract

This work aims to contribute to the academic reflection about the existence and functions of a Public International Sports Law. It examines the main international normative developments aiming to the achievement of sporting objectives, on the one side, and of typical objectives of International Law, on the other. The study pays special attention to the relationship between International Human Rights Law and sport. In this regard, it analyses both the progressive conformation of a human right to sport, and how that branch of International Law serves to the protection of sportspeople’s fundamental rights.
