Since 2022, T.M.C. Asser Instituut, in collaboration with the Centre for Sport and Human Rights, is organising a yearly summer course on the intersection of sport and human rights. This 4th edition brings together experts within the field of sport and human rights with professionals working in the world of sport and related fields. Online via Zoom, we will explore contemporary human rights challenges and opportunities in sports, such as the topic of mega-sporting events and human rights, dispute settlement of human rights cases within the world of sport, and more.

Contracts play a crucial role in the world of sport, particularly long-term contracts. Contractual agreements form the foundation of transnational sports governance, sports governing bodies are all formally the product of a specific time of contract (be it in the form of an association or corporation) often justifying the autonomy of sport and its private governance at a (more or less far) distance from the state. This workshop proposes to explore the role of long-term contracts in sport and their characteristics through a variety of theoretical and methodological lenses.
