Travelling football fans should have their human rights protected when enjoying EURO 2024. With @DrConorWilson @CMcCloskey11 I've written for @ConversationUK on how German authorities have protected rights & what that means for visiting fans theconversation.com/euro-202… @EventRights

Euro 2024: why the host nation is required to protect the human rights of football fans

For host cities football fans are simultaneously potential consumers and criminals. But they have rights, and fan zones are a good way of protecting fans, the public and the streets.

🏞️ Local communities living in cities that host mega sporting events often face abuses such as forced relocation, police brutality and gentrification. Sport governing bodies & event organizers must take steps to avoide these harms & ensure access to remedy. #HumanRights75
