Qatar – The Geneva-based Arab Federation for Human Rights issued a comprehensive report, the first of its kind to review human rights violations in Qatar and its connection to hosting the 2022 World Cup, Warning that the insistence on allowing the tournament to be held in Qatar undermines the reputation of the international organization in the face of countless reports on Qatars violations, human rights abuses, corruption and bribery. The Federation pointed out that reports of international organizations and media have confirmed that if the current conditions of workers in Qatar continue, about 7,000 workers will die until 2022 in the sports projects being implemented for the World Cup. The report, Qatar 2022: World Cup or World Shame was issued on the sidelines of the 36th session of the UN Human Rights Council. The Arab Federation says the 67-page report is based on 131 sources documenting violations and their impact on FIFAs reputation. The report monitors three main findings that reinforce the growing concern of this project and answer important questions. These questions include: Can the 2022 World Cup in Qatar be free of human rights and workers abuses, and will the event be free from extremism and terrorism? How can the event be clean of corruption and bribery? The findings say that in light of Qatars violations of international laws and by violating workers rights, the right to host the competition must be re-considered. The report notes that the boycott of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt to Qatar confirms that Qatars terrorist activities shake the stability in the region and impact human security in the region and the world
