FIFA rejects Palestinian proposal for stronger stance on human rights
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFIFA member federations reject a Palestinian proposal to amend world football’s statutes with a stronger stance against human rights abuses.
FIFA members vote 156 to 35 against the motion which was formally supported by the Iraq and Algeria football bodies.
Palestinian football federation president Jibril Rajoub had said FIFA lacked any ability to sanction a nation for human rights abuses.
FIFA advises voters it already fulfilled all commitments to human rights in reforms passed over the past three years.
