ILO to Give Qatar a Year to Ease Forced Labor Before Any Investigation
On Monday, the International Labour Organization (ILO) said that Qatar must implement policies established in December that will improve the working conditions for migrant laborers. According to a team within the ILO that recently visited the country, Qatar should be given one year to improve conditions before an "ILO commission of inquiry" should take action. Qatar has hired hundreds of thousands of migrant workers in order to build the stadium that will host the soccer World Cup in 2022. On Tuesday, the governing body of the ILO will review the report and recommendations formulated by the ILO team.
