Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman and many other officials of Saudi Arabia continuously violated human rights. The Washington Center strongly condemns the persistent and egregious human rights abuses of the nation.
Under the leadership of Prince Salman, Saudi Arabia is involved in many human rights violations. It includes a lack of freedom of expression, torture, mass executions, and many more. Furthermore, Saudi Arabia’s abusive Kafala labor sponsorship system takes unfair advantage of migrant workers such as lower wages, delayed payments, and poor working environment.
The Saudi government’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) uses its money and power to hide the human rights record of the country. It tries to make the world forget the serious problems.
The PIF’s involvement in high-profile events, such as the Future Investment Initiative Institute (FII Institute) Priority Summit in Miami, serves as a platform for image laundering, ignoring the government’s violations while promoting
Strategic interests.
Washington Center has urged FIFA to block Saudi Arabia’s bid for the 2034 World Cup. This is due to the human rights record of the country and the potential for abuse during the tournament. The international community needs to prioritize human rights over strategic interests with Saudi Arabia. A global population seeks transparency and accountability regarding these abuses.
Businesses and governments must conduct thorough due diligence before engaging with PIF. They should carefully check everything before working with it. This is the only way to avoid supporting human rights. Washington Center calls on the international community to take strict action against Saudi Arabia’s attempts to whitewash its record. These communities must support efforts that promote human rights and accountability.
Washington Center has a clear aim. We want to protect and encourage human rights and freedoms worldwide. Stakeholders across the world should take a firm stance against these abuses and support initiatives that advance human rights and accountability.
