Despite the many pledges made by Qatar to improve the difficult conditions for expatriate workers, especially those who work in the facilities of the 2022 World Cup, international human rights organizations still confirm that these promises have been proven false over the years.
In a 78-page report, Human Rights Watch said that Qatari authorities 'efforts to protect migrant workers' right to accurate and timely wages have largely failed.
The report, entitled "How can we work without pay?", Indicated that the Qatari authorities are still pursuing a policy of withholding workers' salaries on a large scale in the country, and that this matter has become a phenomenon among companies.
The report shows wholesale and repeated violations of salaries for workers, especially the right of those who work in World Cup facilities that Doha will add in 2022, stressing that Qatar has failed to fulfill its pledges in this regard.
Despite Qatar’s pledge in 2017 to the International Labor Organization to protect workers from wage violations and abolish the sponsorship system, Human Rights Watch documented several violations involving guards, cleaning and building workers, security personnel, and administrative staff.
The International Human Rights Foundation interviewed more than 93 migrant workers working in more than 60 companies or employers, and reviewed documents and special legal reports to determine the extent of violations against workers.
