Call for an Olympics human rights committee

For several years now, Human Rights Watch has been pushing for the International Olympics Committee to create a human rights standing committee. The aim would be to prevent future rights abuses of the type that took place at the Beijing games (detention of activists, a crackdown on Chinese journalists, and other forms of unpleasantness). To that end, Human Rights Watch has created a letter to the president of the IOC that is all too easy to sign.


Effort involved: see 'all too easy to sign' above.
