rights protection mechanisms). The aim of the seminar is to promote
dialogue at international level between sports arbitration and states’ judiciary systems.
High-level dignitaries (Snežana Samardžić-Marković, Director of DG II-Democracy,

The EPAS aims to promote sport and emphasise its positive values, to establish international standards and develop a framework for a pan-European platform of intergovernmental sports co-operation while at the same time helping the public authorities of member States of the EPAS, sports federations and NGOs to promote sport and make it healthier, fairer and better governed.
An expert seminar on the subject of sport in prisons is being organised by EPAS,
under the Andorran Chairmanship of the Committee of Ministers. Speakers and specialists
from the penological and sports sectors across Europe will present an insight into this topic,
in order to inspire debate and discussion amongst the participants.
