Abstract
In this paper the author provides a case study, including analyses of in depth interviews, narratives and literature about the human rights of labor migrants working in the construction sector for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Also organizational factors that facilitate change in positive human rights outcomes are explained together with the matter of responsibility of different stakeholders for these human rights. For the analysis of human rights and organizational factors the frameworks of McGillivray et al. and Adams & Piekarz are used. In the end a broader perspective will be given on how Mega Sport Events like the FIFA World Cup can facilitate a positive change in human rights outcomes. Literature shows that there have been negative human rights outcomes during earlier held tournaments. This research is based on academic literature, three background interviews with inhabitants of Qatar and four expert interviews representing FIFA, The International Labor Organization in Qatar, Amnesty International and Migrant-Rights.org. The results showed that all five main human rights of labor migrants working in the construction sector in Qatar were harmed during the organization of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. There is a shared responsibility among all stakeholders to respect human rights of everyone involved in the organization, however the government remains most responsible of all. Including human rights and practical changes in regards to improving them into the bidding process is highly recommended for all organizations of mega sport events if main organizers take all three conditions for change into account.
