Summary of the expert presentations and initial discussions on the topic of “Prevention and awareness-raising, including through human rights education and training, in the fight against racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance” 1. At the 2nd meeting on 7 October 2014, the Ad Hoc Committee on the Elaboration of Complementary Standards heard presentations given by Mr. Patrick Gasser, Senior FSR Manager at Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), Mr. Jonas Burgheim, Deputy Head of the United Nations Office on Sport for Development and Peace (UNOSDP), and Mr. Pavel Klymenko, a representative of the Football Associations against Racism in Europe (FARE Network) on “Prevention and awareness-raising, including through human rights education and training, in the fight against racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance” as it related to sport. 2. Mr. Patrick Gasser presented on UEFA’s role in the area of racism in sport, stating that football provided a unique platform to address that issue. UEFA was active in antiracism initiatives in football. It had established a set of sanctions for disciplinary controls, it organized Football Action week every October during Day 3 of the UEFA Champions League and had just held a “Respect Diversity” conference in Rome in September 2014. Its’ “No to Racism” campaign included education, campaigning and sanctions. He noted that UEFA’s anti-discrimination campaign comprised 54 Euro 2016 qualifiers (national team’s competition), 40 games of the Champions League and Europa League (club competition). The following actions took place during those matches: “No to Racism” campaign via announcements on stadium speakers; graphics on giant screens; the broadcasting of television advertisements; messages in match programmes and kids-players escort initiative. In addition, UEFA pursued a number of educational programmes, such as seminars on institutional discrimination, the Captains for Change Initiative and the Women in Football Leadership Programme. 3. UEFA noted that it tackled all forms of discrimination, including racism, gender discrimination and homophobia. While its jurisdiction was currently limited to UEFA-sponsored events, such as Champions League matches, UEFA also worked at influencing national associations. An important part of UEFA’s national approach was the cooperation between the UEFA’s control and disciplinary body and the FARE Network in order to monitor football matches and report discriminatory behaviour. 4. Mr. Jonas Burgheim, introduced the work of the Special Adviser on Sport for Development and Peace and the United Nations Office on Sport for Development and Peace and the work of the Intergovernmental Working Group in the area of sport, peace and development. The Group’s main activities were the promotion and support of (national) policies and projects as well as policy work in cooperation with UN partners, with reference 22
