Commentary: "Dispatches: Time to Tackle Rights Failings in “House of Football”"

Ruggie’s report, “For The Game.  For The World,” out today, notes FIFA does not have much in place to protect human rights.  Over the last year, FIFA’s failings have been on full display...Ruggie’s report calls on FIFA to develop effective rights policies and procedures, to ensure it avoids or mitigates human rights violations, and enable victims to secure redress.  The report offers a credible picture of what a meaningful human rights infrastructure at FIFA could look like—but for now it is nothing more than words on paper. Even if FIFA reacts positively to the report, it is just a start. Its new president, Gianni Infantino, needs to instill a new culture that says: FIFA will work as hard as possible to avoid contributing to human rights abuses. And where the World Cup or any other tournament is bound up with abuses, FIFA will act immediately...There are steps FIFA can take now to show that Ruggie’s report is not mere window-dressing, and they start with firmer action in Qatar.  FIFA should publicly demand that Qatar act to end migrant worker deaths, and abolish its abusive exit visa system – something that the government could accomplish with the stroke of a pen – as a necessary first step towards reforms. FIFA should monitor and remedy abuses in preparations for upcoming World Cups in Qatar, and in Russia, the 2018 host, as rigorously as it oversees stadium completion.  The International Olympic Committee has already taken steps in the right direction.
