Athletics South Africa grateful for United Nations' support for Caster Semenya

JOHANNESBURG– Athletics South Africa is humbled by the unanimous resolution adopted by the United Nations Human Rights Council during their 46th session on Thursday to defend Caster Semenya’s rights to participate as a female in sport.

The decision was originally scheduled to be delivered on the 26 March 2019 but after the IAAF filed late submissions to cause amendments to be made to the regulations, Semenya and ASA had to respond thereto with the result that a decision is now expected at the end of April 2019. The resolution co-sponsored by the Kingdom of Eswatini, Mozambique, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Burundi, India, Iceland and Canada, adds to the wave of global and local support led by State President Ramaphosa, the government, parliament, medical, legal, leading celebrities, civil society and a cross spectrum of public opinion.
