SUMMARY:Rethinking dispute resolution in sport after Semenya and Seraing
DESCRIPTION:Sports arbitration has long been regarded as a fast\, special
 ised\, and effective means of resolving disputes in an increasingly glob
 alised sporting world. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) remains 
 the cornerstone of this system\, exercising jurisdiction over a broad sp
 ectrum of matters\, from disciplinary sanctions and doping cases to comm
 ercial and contractual disputes.\n\nRecent jurisprudence\, however\, has
  reignited debate about the limits and legitimacy of this model. In part
 icular\, the European Court of Human Rights’ judgment in Semenya v. Swit
 zerland (Application no. 10934/21\, 10 July 2025) and the Court of Justi
 ce of the European Union’s ruling in Royal Football Club Seraing and Oth
 ers v. FIFA (Case C-600/23\, 1 August 2025) raise fundamental questions 
 about the balance between arbitral autonomy and mandatory public law pri
 nciples.\n\nTo what extent should arbitration in sport be constrained by
  considerations of human rights\, competition law\, and public policy (o
 rdre public)? Are existing mechanisms adequate to safeguard fairness and
  independence\, or is reform required to maintain legitimacy and trust?\
 n\nThis session will examine whether the CAS model remains fit for purpo
 se in light of these developments and will explore their broader implica
 tions for arbitration beyond sport\, including commercial arbitration an
 d other forms of private dispute resolution.\n
