Abstract

Since 2017, the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) has incorporated human rights risk assessments into its bidding requirements for major events, beginning with the competition to host the 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup.1 This process began at a time of increased scrutiny on the impact of major events and greater focus on the applicability of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) to sport. In 2014, the Centre for Sport and Human Rights’ founding Chair Mary Robinson, together with John Ruggie (author of the UNGPs), wrote to FIFA in their respective capacities as Patron and Chair of the Institute for Human Rights and Business (IHRB) to stress the need for ‘sustained due diligence […] with respect to decisions about host nations and how major sporting events are planned and implemented’.2 Following recommendations set forth in the letter, expanded upon in Ruggie’s 2016 report ‘For the Game, For the World’, FIFA introduced robust bidding requirements that any country or region wishing to bid to host a World Cup will have to conduct a human rights risk assessment and outline how they intend to mitigate each of the risks identified.3 These requirements are designed to align the World Cup bidding process with the UNGPs.
2026年世界杯候选城市人权提案:积极遗产的承诺
自2017年以来,国际足联(FIFA)已将人权风险评估纳入其大型赛事的竞标要求,首先是2026年国际足联男子世界杯的主办权竞争。这一进程始于对重大赛事影响的审查日益加强,并更加关注《联合国工商业与人权指导原则》(UNGPs)对体育的适用性。2014年,体育与人权中心的创始主席玛丽·罗宾逊(Mary Robinson)和约翰·鲁吉(John Ruggie) (UNGPs的作者)分别以赞助人和人权与商业研究所(IHRB)主席的身份写信给国际足联,强调需要“对东道国的决定以及重大体育赛事的规划和实施方式进行持续的尽责调查”根据信函中提出的建议,并在鲁吉2016年的报告《为了比赛,为了世界》中进行了扩展,国际足联引入了强有力的竞标要求,即任何希望申办世界杯的国家或地区都必须进行人权风险评估,并概述他们打算如何减轻所发现的每一项风险这些要求旨在使世界杯申办过程与联合国指导方针保持一致。

期刊介绍: The Business and Human Rights Journal (BHRJ) provides an authoritative platform for scholarly debate on all issues concerning the intersection of business and human rights in an open, critical and interdisciplinary manner. It seeks to advance the academic discussion on business and human rights as well as promote concern for human rights in business practice. BHRJ strives for the broadest possible scope, authorship and readership. Its scope encompasses interface of any type of business enterprise with human rights, environmental rights, labour rights and the collective rights of vulnerable groups. The Editors welcome theoretical, empirical and policy / reform-oriented perspectives and encourage submissions from academics and practitioners in all global regions and all relevant disciplines. A dialogue beyond academia is fostered as peer-reviewed articles are published alongside shorter ‘Developments in the Field’ items that include policy, legal and regulatory developments, as well as case studies and insight pieces.
