Some quick thoughts on the #Heraskevych case & the CAS decision. CAS say that the ban is lawful, I don't: linkedin.com/posts/mark-jam…

This is a great analysis of the basic reasons of the arbitrator in the #Heraskevych case by @Ant1Duval. It's a long way from over...

Our (with @prof_mark_james) blog on the #Heraskevych case is out on @Verfassungsblog. We argue that the #IOC/#IBSF decision to disqualify Vladyslav Heraskevych for intending to wear a memorial helmet violates the principle of legality & the IOC's own #HumanRights commitments.

As we start 2026, we want to recognise and thank the readers, authors, and reviewers who continue to support the ISLJ. The journal depends on your engagement and the time you give to it, and we value that contribution greatly. — Mark @prof_mark_james & Shaylla @ShayllaShabbir
