Potential Benefits

The Paris 2024 Summer Olympics will be the first Olympic Games for which human rights provisions were added to the Host City Contract (HCC). The Milano/Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics will be the first edition of the Games that were awarded with human rights requirements forming part of the candidature process. The inclusion of human rights provisions into hosting and bidding regulations can be seen as a reaction of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to the increasing pressure from civil society to address adverse human rights impacts of these events. This essay provides an analysis of the benefits and shortcomings of this development and reveals that from a rights-holder perspective, the benefits are meaningless. More specifically, it argues that potential benefits are cancelled out by the shortcomings and most importantly that there is a mismatch between intended and actual beneficiaries of these provisions.

U modernim Zimskim olimpijskim igrama utjecaj sportskih građevina i infrastrukture na teritorij i krajolik, posebice prometne mreže potrebne za povezivanje grada domaćina sa sportskim terenima u planinama, jedan je od glavnih izazovnih problema - pitanje od posebne važnosti za planere. S planerskoga motrišta analizirana su tri sluèaja koja ukazuju na zajedničke i različite probleme, strategije i posljedice: Torino 2006., Soči 2014. i plan za Krakov 2022.
