Article S1
A. Joint Dispositions - Statute S1
In order to resolve sports-related disputes through arbitration and mediation, two bodies are hereby created:
- the International Council of Arbitration for Sport ("ICAS")
- the Court of Arbitration for Sport ("CAS").
The disputes to which a federation, association or other sports-related body is a party are a matter for arbitration pursuant to this Code, only insofar as the statutes or regulations of the bodies or a specific agreement so provide. The seat of both ICAS and CAS is Lausanne, Switzerland.
