[Public Comment] HRN Made a Public Comment about \u201cThe Tokyo 2020 High-Level Sustainability Plan\u201d of the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

On January 29, the Tokyo Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games announced \u201cThe Framework for the Tokyo 2020 High-Level Sustainability Plan\u201d and \u201cThe Fundamental Principles for the Sustainable Sourcing Code.\u201d
\nAlthough the \u201cFramework\u201d includes \u201cConsideration of Human Rights, Labour and Fair Operating Practices,\u201d and requirements such as \u201crespect for human rights and consideration for working environment\u201d are part of the Fundamental Principles, such elements are extremely abstract.
\nOn February 12, Human Rights Now, considering the details of the \u201cFramework\u201d and the \u201cFundamental Principles,\u201d made a public comment on the need for the Committee to announce its intention to follow the international norms and standards of conduct relating to human rights, including those found in the international covenants on human rights and the international labour standards of the ILO.
\nHRN will continue to focus attention on any possible negative impacts on human rights brought about by the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games.
\nConsidering \u201cThe Tokyo 2020 High-level Sustainability Plan\u201d of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games:<\/p>\n

(1) Regarding the \u201cConsideration of Human Rights, Labour and Fair Operating Practices\u201d and \u201cThe Framework for Tokyo 2020 High-level Sustainability Plan,\u201d
\nHRN welcomes the Tokyo Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games\u2019 inclusion of \u201cConsideration of Human Rights, Labour and Fair Operating Practices\u201d in its Plan; however, considering the details of the plan, we believe it is necessary for the Committee to additionally indicate its compliance with international norms of conduct relating to human rights, including those found in the international covenants on human rights and the international labour standards of ILO.<\/p>\n

(2) Regarding the \u201cFundamental Principles for Sustainable Sourcing Code\u201d and \u201cPrinciples of Tokyo 2020 Sustainable Sourcing,\u201d
\nRequirements such as respect for human rights, consideration of the working environment, and fair operating practices are listed as items of the \u201cPrinciples of Tokyo 2020 Sustainable Sourcing.\u201d We agree on the necessity of listing these items, but we believe that the Committee, in achieving the principles herein requested, needs to state its abidance to international norms of conduct relating to human rights, including those included in the international covenants on human rights and the international labour standards of ILO.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
