The exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the workplace 2016, para. 90
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The Special Rapporteur maintains that private multilateral bodies, such as the International Olympic Committee and the Federation Internationale de Football Association, have a responsibility to respect, if not promote, universally recognized human rights (A/69/365, para. 31). He regrets that those bodies have not taken advantage of their power and influence to press host countries of their events such as Brazil (Summer Olympics 2016) and Qatar (World Cup 2022) to uphold workers' rights, including assembly and association rights.
