Lifting restrictions normalizes complicity in aggression and undermines peace. | The IOC's decision to lift restrictions on Belarusian athletes prioritizes athletic participation over geopolitical accountability, potentially normalizing complicity in aggression and human rights violations. While it may restore some athletes' rights to compete, it risks undermining peace and justice frameworks by failing to address the broader context of war and repression.
