Forum on Sport and Human Rights
One of the actions mentioned in Resolution no. 2 adopted by the Conference of Ministers on 11 February says that EPAS is invited to “hold regular exchanges with relevant Council of Europe intergovernmental and monitoring bodies to share information on human rights in sport”.
EPAS was therefore pleased to announce the organisation of a Forum on Sport and human rights, whose aim was to create an exchange between the human rights monitoring bodies and the sport world. The forum was structured around two round table discussions.
