This Guide aims to protect major sporting events as a common good of the international community. It contains an exhaustive analysis of all elements for consideration by key decision-makers when it comes to security at major sporting events. Intercultural and cross-regional complexities and particularities are dissected, providing a systemic overview of the main considerations for key decision-makers.
The Guide has been produced within the framework of the United Nations Global Programme on the Security of Major Sporting Events and the Promotion of Sport and its Values as a Tool to Prevent Violent Extremism co-implemented by the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism (UNOCT), in association with the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI), the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) and the International Centre for Sport Security (ICSS) in consultation with the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED).
