It might be more appropriate if they could verify that standards and workers' rights are adhered to and maintained, and see that this becomes part and parcel of modern development. It is all too easy to say, "Do not have the World Cup in Qatar", and all of the investment in jobs, construction and everything that goes with it will die. We had the winter games in Sochi in Russia despite the fact there were indications of difficulties there, and nobody called for end to that. We had the boycott of the Moscow games in the 1980s, I remember, with the invasion of Iraq.
