The Joint Standing Committee on Treaties has commenced inquiries into the Agreement to Establish the Pacific Resilience Facility and the Council of Europe Convention on the Manipulation of Sports Competitions.
The Pacific Resilience Facility agreement proposes a regional financing mechanism aimed at supporting disaster preparedness and resilience initiatives in Pacific Island countries. The Committee will examine the potential implications of Australia’s participation in this initiative.
The Convention on the Manipulation of Sports Competitions sets out a framework for international cooperation to address match-fixing and related threats to the integrity of sport. The Committee will assess the treaty’s relevance and potential impact on Australia’s existing legal and regulatory frameworks.
