  • Qatar: Governance, Security, and U.S
    Qatar: Governance, Security, and U.S. Policy Kenneth Katzman Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs June 7, 2018 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R44533 Qatar: Governance, Security, and U.S. Policy Summary The State of Qatar has employed its ample financial resources to exert regional influence and avoid domination by Saudi Arabia, the de facto leader of the alliance of six Gulf monarchies called the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC: Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Oman). Qatar has intervened in several regional conflicts, including in Syria and Libya, and has engaged both Sunni Islamist and Iran-backed Shiite groups in Lebanon, Sudan, the Gaza Strip, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Qatar has maintained consistent dialogue with Iran while also supporting U.S. and GCC efforts to limit Iran’s regional influence. Qatar’s independent policies, which include supporting regional Muslim Brotherhood organizations and establishing a global media network called Al Jazeera, have injured Qatar’s relations with Saudi Arabia and some other GCC members. The differences erupted into a crisis on June 5, 2017, when Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Bahrain, joined by Egypt and a few other governments, severed relations with Qatar and imposed limits on the entry and transit of Qatari nationals and vessels in their territories, waters, and airspace. The Trump Administration has sought, unsuccessfully to date—and despite hosting visits by several Gulf leaders including that of Qatar in March and April 2018—to mediate a resolution of the dispute. The Administration assesses that the prolonged rift threatens efforts to counter Iran and regional terrorist groups.

  • Shared Responsibility and Human Rights Abuse: the 2022 World Cup in Qatar Raquel Regueiro*
    TILBURG LAW REVIEW Raquel Regueiro, ‘Shared Responsibility and Human Rights Journal of International and European Law Abuse: The 2022 World Cup in Qatar’ (2020) 25(1) Tilburg Law Review pp. 27–39. DOI: https://doi.org/10.5334/tilr.191 RESEARCH ARTICLE Shared Responsibility and Human Rights Abuse: The 2022 World Cup in Qatar Raquel Regueiro* Since 2010, recurrent human rights violations of migrants working on building new or refurbishing existing infrastructure for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar have been denounced. This paper focuses on three of the main actors involved in those violations—Qatar, FIFA and Switzerland—in order to determine how shared responsibility could be a useful framework to ensure protection of and reparation to the victims. The article also raises serious questions about the application of shared responsibility and the effective enforcement of human rights when non-state actors are involved. Keywords: Shared responsibility; human rights; non-state actors; due diligence 1 Introduction Since Qatar won hosting rights for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in 2010, recurrent human rights violations of migrants working on building or refurbishing infrastructure for the tournament have been denounced. For those laborers, who are generally in a fragile position, to engage the legal responsibility of the different actors involved in the organization of the event is a major challenge. The host state, Qatar, the football’s governing body, FIFA, and the home state of FIFA, Switzerland, should have been aware of the risk of human rights violations when organizing the 2022 World Cup. Indeed, despite progress made in the last few years, infringements on human rights such as limitations to the freedom of movement, the lack of just and favorable conditions of work, discrimination on the basis of nationality and restrictions to the right to access justice, still occur.
