"The Council of Europe has drafted a new international treaty to promote safety at football matches and other sports events and improve international police co-operation. The new convention foresees better information and data sharing between police forces and exchange of best practices… The Council of Europe plans to open the convention for signature to European states on 3 July at the Stade de France," the continent's leading human rights organization said in a statement.
The drafted convention is aimed at the provision of all the required security measures at the stadiums and comfort for all the spectators attending the events, the statement added.
Secretary General of the Council of Europe Thorbjorn Jagland condemned clashes in Marseille and called on European governments to prevent this kind of violence.
