Pierre Cornu, CIES Senior Legal Counsel
The Sorbonne University, Paris 1, and the International Centre for Sport Integrity (ICSS), in cooperation with UNESCO, have launched a major sport integrity project at a Symposium for experts held in Paris on 11-13 September 2012.
After opening addresses by the Qatar Olympic Committee Secretary General, UNESCO and European Commission Assistant Director Generals, the IOC Director General and the ICSS President, the well-known Italian football player Alessandro del Piero gave an inspiring speech, under the motto “Save the Dream”, to encourage all stakeholders to join in the fight against the integrity threats to sport.

FC Zurich supporters
Today, there are countless publications devoted to supporters. However, if the question was mainly addressed in terms of disturbance and violence, studies on the modes of organization and functionality of groups that drive stadiums are still sparse.
To remedy this, a CIES meeting was held on 14th September 2012 in Neuchâtel with a panel of researchers to exchange knowledge on the subject. The meeting allowed a dozen stakeholders to present the results of their research which had already been completed or was currently in progress and had been conducted in Argentina, Belgium, Croatia, Egypt, France, Romania and Switzerland. In particular, the comparative perspective and broadening of the discussion to countries in Eastern Europe and other continents contributed to the rich debates, but also stimulated thinking about explanatory models.

Bertrand Reeb, CIES President
Can you first tell us about yourself and your career path?
I’m 68, I’m married and I have one son, Matthieu, who is currently CAS Secretary General. I studied law in Switzerland and then abroad. I first worked as a lawyer for 10 years before being appointed Judge by the Tribunal Federal Suisse in Lausanne. However, from this year, I will be retiring from the Tribunal and will not have any further public responsibilities. Currently, I hold various positions, such as President of the Court of Arbitration of the Swiss Watchmaking Industry and of course, President of CIES!
What links do you have with the sport world?
I have rowed since I was a teenager and I’m still practicing on the lake of Neuchâtel. My father introduced me to football during the World Cup in 1954 and since then, I’m a fan. Of course, I support Neuchâtel Xamax!
Who is your favorite sportsman and why?
It is difficult to make a choice between champions like Jean-Claude Killy, Alfredo Di Stefano and Wilma Rudolf. Today, Messi and Barcelona are major actors. But If I had to choose only one, I would think of Roger Federer, whose talent and personality are truly exemplary and give honour to sport values.
