The Global Ethic Lectures in Tübingen
Sixth
Global Ethic Lecture
10 May 2006
Jacques Rogge, IOC President
“Global sport and Global Ethic”
“Our fundamental principles are: tolerance, mutual respect, universality,
solidarity between rich and poor, and non-partisanship. That means that every
form of discrimination on the basis of race, religion, political opinion, gender,
or any other grounds has no place in the Olympic Movement, because it is diametrically
opposed to its founding ideas.”
