Abstract
The world of sports is not limited to a specific country and group, and this is the extra-territorial and cross-century feature of sports that distinguishes it from other human phenomena. The world of sports is an efficient tool in the hands of the international human rights system, which can provide a basis for the realization and promotion of human rights due to human desire for physical activity. In the meantime, children are in the center of attention as athletes. In this article, we have tried to answer the key question of how to protect the rights of children in the field of professional sports by explaining the dimensions of child-athlete rights violations. Children's rights are widely supported by the government and others due to everyone's obligation to respect and guarantee compliance, but the sports arena generally does not allow government interference in its affairs. For this purpose, relying on the responsibility of the legal system governing the field of sports, a comprehensive investigation should be conducted in line with the feasibility of the situation and how to apply the minimum age rule in the field of sports within the framework of the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
