Where should appeals against decisions made by FIBA or its Zones be submitted?

Appeals against decisions made by FIBA or its Zones are appropriately submitted to the FIBA Appeals' Panel. This is because the FIBA Appeals' Panel is specifically established to handle disputes and appeals concerning decisions made by FIBA's administrative bodies, including its various committees. The structure of the FIBA governance ensures that there are designated bodies for different functions, and the Appeals' Panel acts as an independent entity to review and adjudicate on appeals, ensuring a fair process.

In contrast, other entities like the Disciplinary Committee focus on enforcing rules and regulations rather than adjudicating appeals. National member federations may have their own internal processes for handling appeals, but they do not have jurisdiction over international-level decisions made by FIBA. A neutral arbitration body might seem appropriate for dispute resolution, but in this context, FIBA has established its own internal mechanisms to address appeals effectively and efficiently.
