A Harvard professor hired by FIFA to advise on improvements to the organisation's human rights approach has advised that World Cups should be taken away from countries who fail to end systematic abuses.
John Ruggie, who previously worked with the UN, has produced a large report -- on request from FIFA -- in response to criticism of the 2022 World Cup hosts Qatar and the nation's human rights record.
"Where FIFA is unable to reduce severe human rights impacts by using its leverage, it should consider suspending or terminating the relationship," concluded the professor.
