A few days before the World Cup final, several organizations condemned massive human rights violations during the tournament in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
With respect to human rights, this was “not a good World Cup,” said Minky Worden of Human Rights Watch at a press conference in New York.
The Trump administration had weaponized the World Cup, argued the human rights organizations.
Already ahead of the tournament, Human Rights Watch warned that the World Cup could be “a potential human rights catastrophe.”
FIFA has integrated human rights requirements into the bidding procedures for events and lists human rights as a strategic goal.
