In 2020, Panama declines to host the Central American and Caribbean Games, after an analysis and recommendations from the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Economy and Finance, in the midst of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The Contract of responsibilities and obligations arising from the agreements reached generates great interest among the contracting parties, due to the collateral effects of the damages that this could produce.
The Contract of the Host City of the Games, the object of our study in this work, constitutes the essence of the Olympic philosophy of Ancient Greece, with the adaptations of the modern Olympic Movement, which mainly integrates natural and legal persons within its organizational core, limiting the participation of States in their contractual or affiliation relationships.
In the agreements reached with Panama, State funds, assets and bonds are committed, as part of the financial program to carry out the Central American and Caribbean Games in 2022. The expectation that this generated in the face of the coercive dangers that could exercise these sports organizations, among them, the marginalization of Panama from the Olympic cycle, has invited us to carry out a reflection from the legal point of view for the eloquence of the citizen, the main inspector of the country.
