The Olympic Charter is an official document outlining the rules for the Olympic Games and for the governing of The Olympic Movement. Though the Charter is officially translated into six languages, if a discrepancy between translations is discovered, the French version is used. Leading up to the 2008 Olympics, the Charter has come into controversy because of it bars political propaganda and protest in Olympic venues.
