4. Recommendations There are numerous entities involved in the planning, preparation and delivery of the tournament. Accordingly, the recommendations identify which entity or entities may be best placed to lead the response on particular issues. It is recognised that the tournament takes places over a period of four weeks but in addressing the risks that may arise out of the FWWC2023, this risk assessment considered a wider period including the full lifecycle of the event covering the planning, preparation, and delivery of the tournament. In addition, the FWWC2023 is set against a backdrop of broader human rights issues both in the host countries and internationally, and within the world of football itself, with respect to a number of issues such as the supply chains of goods and services and the teams competing in the tournament. Accordingly, the distinction between direct and systemic human rights risks has been reflected in the table. It is also recognised that FIFA and the local entities are unlikely to be able to comprehensively address or mitigate systemic human rights risks on their own or over the course of the FWWC2023. It is noted that under the UNGPs compliance with the domestic laws of the host nation are a minimum expectation, but where those laws do not reflect international human rights standards then businesses should seek ways to honour the principles of internationally recognised human rights.
