“Everything I know about morality & the obligations of men I owe to football” (Camus)
Football teaches us about team work, courage & fair play but most importantly it teaches us that some things are more important than winning. #WorldCupFinal #Arg #fra
The lessons offered by football extend beyond the pitch
They teach us about individual & collective responsibility

Just as the rules of football ensure fairness on the pitch, so human rights law governs behaviour globally
But the rules need to be applied equally
Referees - like @amnesty👇- can blow the whistle on visible foul play - but systemic injustices remain
“No history is mute. No matter how much they own it, break it, & lie about it, human history refuses to shut its mouth. Despite deafness & ignorance, the time that was continues to tick inside the time that is” (Eduardo Galeano)
