Proposing a New UN Special Procedure on Sports and Human Rights (2023)

For the past two semesters, Clinic students have researched the current UN framework for addressing the relationship between human rights and sports.  The Clinic published a white paper, A New Referee: The Need for a New Special Procedure on Human Rights and Sports, proposing that the UN create a new special procedure focused on sports and human rights. The Clinic presented this report, among other places, at the Sporting Chance Forum 2023, hosted at the UN in Geneva, by the Centre for Sport & Human Rights.
