Ver todas las etiquetas

A report by one of the world’s leading experts on human rights said world soccer governing body FIFA has significant work to accomplish to bring the organization up to international standards.The report prepared for FIFA by John G. Ruggie, who teaches about human rights and international affairs at Harvard, concluded that, “At this time, FIFA doesn’t yet have adequate systems in place enabling it to know and show that it respects human rights in practice.”In a statement released along with the report, FIFA president Gianni Infantino said, “This is an ongoing process and of course challenges remain, but FIFA is committed to playing its part in ensuring respect for human rights and to being a leader among international sports organisations in this important area.”...Regarding pledges from Infantino, who was elected president in February, to improve FIFA’s human rights record, Ruggie said, “We can hope and expect that he follows through on commitments he’s made but it’s early days.”
