OWL Episode 1 - Can We Promote Human Rights Whilst Holding Major Sporting Events?

With the 2022 FIFA World Cup being held in Qatar, the topic of human rights has become a central conversation of interest. Dr. Daniela Heerdt joins us for our very first OWL episode to discuss how holding a major sporting event can help to promote human rights within the region and the fact that major sports organisation such as the IOC and FIFA take into account human rights criteria in their decision making process.

Dr. Daniela Heerdt is a researcher in the field of sport and human rights at the Asser Institute of the University of Amsterdam.
