As FIFA prepares to confirm Saudi Arabia as the host, concerns about labor abuses echo loudly from the past, especially after the controversies surrounding the Qatar World Cup. The commitment from UN Human Rights chief Volker Türk signals a determination to integrate human rights into the very fabric of this major sporting event, urging accountability and transparency in a region that has faced scrutiny for its treatment of workers.
