  • Western Europe
    Western Europe Great Britain National Affairs OIGNS OF SLOW BUT DISCERNIBLE economic recovery in 1993 —such as a drop in interest rate, reduced inflation, and even a small decline in unemploy- ment — did nothing to halt the unremitting decline in the political fortunes of Prime Minister John Major's Conservative government. The Tories lost to the Liberal Democrats in by-elections for two hitherto safe parliamentary seats — Newbury in May and Christchurch in July — and in local elections in May, when the Conserva- tives lost control of all but one county council. The most likely cause of the government's unpopularity was its own disunity. Internal dissension, for example, dogged the progress of the bill to ratify the Maas- tricht Treaty on European Union. In March the government lost a key vote on the bill by 22 votes, and Major had to call for a vote of confidence in July, which did insure final ratification of the treaty. The Labor party limited itself to profiting from the government's unpopularity and to updating its image and organization. Under leader John Smith's impetus, the party's annual conference in September voted to abolish the bloc vote enjoyed by the trade unions, in a bid to enhance the party's appeal to middle-class electors. Despite appeals by the Board of Deputies of British Jews and other groups, the government's Asylum Bill, which would limit the number of political refugees admitted to Britain, was passed by the House of Commons in January. Israel and the Middle East The draft peace accord signed by Israel and the Palestinians in September was welcomed by all political parties and opened the door to a more positive stance by Britain in Middle East politics.

  • Mega Sporting Events and Human Rights
    Striving for Excellence: Mega-Sporting Events and Human Rights Occasional Paper Series Paper Number 2 OCTOBER 2013 Occasional Paper Series Paper Number 2 OCTOBER 2013 Striving for Excellence: Mega-Sporting Events and Human Rights About this Paper This is the second in a series of occasional papers by the Institute for Human Rights and Business (IHRB). Papers in this series provide independent analysis and policy recommendations concerning timely subjects on the business and human rights agenda from the perspective of IHRB staff members and research fellows. IHRB Research Fellow, Lucy Amis, prepared this paper with input from IHRB team members. IHRB wishes to thank all those who offered comments on earlier drafts of the paper. Since 2011 when it launched the Staff Wanted Initiative with Anti-Slavery International in response to concerns around the exploitation of vulnerable work- ers, trafficking and forced labour in the hospitality sector in the run-up to the London 2012 Olympics, IHRB has taken an active interest in the business and human rights impacts of mega sporting events (MSEs). MSEs such as the Olympic Games, FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) World Cup and Commonwealth Games – with their massive physical and commercial footprints – afford a rare opportunity to address a broad spectrum of business and human rights concerns within a microcosm, and to explore possible new approaches to integrating respect for human rights across a wide range of relationships and practices. All rights reserved. The IHRB permits free reproduction of extracts from any of its publications provided due acknowledgement is given and a copy of the publication carrying the extract is sent to its headquarters at the address below.
