One of the few characteristics that everybody in the world shares is the fact that all humans have certain basic rights that they enjoy. These rights are known as Human Rights. An aftermath of the second world war was the formation of the United Nations, which was an intergovernmental organization created with the aim of maintaining international peace and security. Many atrocities such as the Holocaust, the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the war crimes committed by Japan in East Asia had resulted in talks about having some basic laws that protected the people of the world regardless of who they were and where they were from. These rights were adopted in the form of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which was passed by the UN General Assembly in 1948. Ever since then many conventions and treaties related to the protection of human rights have been passed, but the abuse of human rights is such a pervasive issue that true regulation of human rights is nearly impossible.
The Federation International de Football Association or FIFA as it is commonly known, is an international body that governs the sport of association football. However, over the past decade, there have been growing accusations of corruption within FIFA, which have been proven by various investigations into the workings of FIFA, resulting in the resignation of then-President Sepp Blatter. These allegations were with regards to Russia and Qatar being selected as the hosts of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups respectively. Considered by players and fans alike to be the pinnacle of football, the FIFA World Cup is the most prestigious football tournament in the world.
Despite this prestigious reputation and storied history, the 2022 FIFA World Cup has been heavily criticized by fans, players, and international organizations alike, and all of this is before the tournament has even started. The various accusations of corruption have brought to light the fact that the Qatari government bribed FIFA officials to vote in favor of conducting the tournament in Qatar, and their bid to host the 2022 World Cup was accepted. However, since Qatar is not a traditionally football-playing nation, infrastructure such as stadiums and player accommodation had to be built. For the past several years, the Qatari government has overseen the construction of football stadiums to host the tournament. However, since this construction began in 2013, various international watchdogs and journalists have accused Qatar of human rights abuse for this construction. This paper delves into these allegations and sees whether there is any truth to them.
