Ticho po športovom výkone: zodpovednosť športových organizácií za porušenie ľudských práv. Silence after the sporting performance: the responsibility of sports organisations for human rights violations. JUDr. Csilla Szomolaiová, Katedra ústavného práva a politológie, Masarykova univerzita v Brne Právny obzor, 109, 2026, No. 2, pp. 110 – 128. Published online: 2026 https://doi.org/10.31577/pravnyobzor.2026.2.02 Abstract. In the submitted article, the author directs her attention to the question of whether sports organisations, as private entities exercising public functions, can and should bear direct responsibility for the protection of human rights. The analysis focuses on the interaction between lex sportiva and international human rights law, particularly through the lens of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the European Sports Charter. By examining key judgments such as Mutu and Pechstein v. Switzerland and Semenya v. Switzerland, the paper explores how the European Court of Human Rights has gradually recognised the horizontal effect of human rights in sport and redefined the boundaries of sports autonomy. The author further identifies structural deficiencies within the Slovak sports system and emphasises the state’s positive obligations to ensure effective oversight, transparency, and accessible remedies for athletes. Ultimately, the article argues for the transformation of the traditional notion of “autonomy of sport” into a model of responsible autonomy—one that aligns self-regulation with accountability and the fundamental respect for human dignity. Key words: Human rights in sport, Lex sportiva, autonomy of sport, Court of Arbitration for Sport, European Court of Human Rights
