And through the foregoing, it is also needed to specify details of human rights, basic rights, violence, sexual violence etc., and necessary to organize a system for active protection of and support for victims.
 Third, construction of a system for prevention of violence and protection of victims is necessary through enactment·revision of ordinances of local governments. As a plan for the foregoing, it is first necessary to revise ordinances of local governments related to promotion of sports for enabling sportsmen·athletes to be respected as a human being and their rights and interests be protected. And each local government need to supplement limits of「the Charter of Human Rights in Sports」and「Guideline for Human Rights in Sports」by enacting tentatively named「Ordinance on Protection of Human Rights in Sports」.
