Time for FIFA to give Qatar a World Cup ultimatum

Talk, as they say, is cheap. Not very effective, either, given a blistering new report by Amnesty International on the deplorable conditions that workers in World Cup host Qatar continue to face.

If FIFA, its members and sponsors care as much about human rights as they claim to, it's time to take a stand. Tell the rulers of Qatar that the 2022 World Cup will be held somewhere else unless reforms to protect migrant workers from exploitation are enacted by Aug. 1.

Not being discussed or under consideration. Not in the process of being implemented. In place and making an impact.
