Several organisations, including ILO and IOE, have joined efforts and formed the Multi-Stakeholder Steering Committee.
These organisations acknowledge the fact that, despite their potential to help catalyze greater respect for human rights and international labour standards, Mega sporting events bring along significant human rights risks and challenges at every stage of their lifecycle.
In order to prevent, mitigate and remedy abuses of human rights and labour standards associated with major sporting events, more effective strategies must be developed and implemented.
That is the goal of the Multi-Stakeholder Steering Committee. They intend to involve all interested actors including sports federations, local organizing committees, governments, sponsors and broadcasters, workers and athletes, through to those representing vulnerable and at risk groups. The Committee states the need for innovative efforts on these issues, including the potential for establishing a new independent centre for human rights learning, legacy and accountability for mega-sporting events.
A conference on Mega-Sporting Events and Human Rights to be held in Washington, D.C. in October 2016, will take stock of the Committee efforts and plan future steps.
