Human rights, torture prevention with a sport/anti-doping twist. CPT secretariat @coe_CPT (views are my own)

[Alain Berset @alain_berset]

Today, we celebrate young people.

Many have grown up through crisis after crisis. Yet, wherever I go, I meet young people who still choose to participate, engage and believe that democracy can deliver.

On International Youth Day, I want to thank all those who contribute to the Council of Europe, as youth delegates, activists, trainees and young professionals. Your commitment strengthens our Organisation and Europe's democratic future.

[Alain Berset @alain_berset]

This is not a football story.
It is a story about rules. Who writes them. Whether they are applied. And who may change them.
Read my comments in @POLITICOEurope on why the debate around FIFA matters far beyond the pitch: https://t.co/Lz0kbVEQ27

[Alain Berset @alain_berset]

Ten days ago, I wrote that the next crisis in football would have two names: money and power. It now has a price.
I offered @FIFAcom a third half. The offer stands. Sports ministers meet in Monaco on 3-4 November.

[Alain Berset @alain_berset]

The FIFA World Cup 2026 has raised one question after another.

The Council of Europe has helped turn past sporting crises into binding rules. It's time to begin the third half and strengthen the integrity of sport.

The Pro Merito Medal of @coe has honoured judges, political leaders, scholars and architects — but never before an entrepreneur.
Proud to award it to someone who builds Europe quite literally: Roland Mack, founder of @europa_park.
Perhaps one day a small Council of Europe corner might appear there. :)

What if prison officials were not the only authority within prison walls? In some European prisons, a harmful informal hierarchy among prisoners imposes parallel rules that shape life in prison.

The #CoE #antitorture Committee (#CPT) and the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) hold a seminar on prisoner’s rights and the situation of prisons in Europe. https://t.co/0Jn1kJQX6r

[Alain Berset @alain_berset]

The seventy-fifth anniversary of the European Convention on Human Rights.

As I hold it in my hands, I don’t see a piece of ancient history. The #ECHR is one of those rare texts that does not say what the world is — but what it could become.
