Basic human rights of people around the world are being violated ... and that the gulf states. unfortunately, in the past few years US had shown many dictators and governments how to violate human right while citing international laws and agreements. And many are learning fast.
As for Qatar, the government has to do a lot more to enforce mainly labor/employment rights. The most abused group would be labor workers who are left in the mercy of a local sponsor. They work for 12 hours and more, high level of industrial accidents due to lack of health and safety standards (300 Nepalese workers dead in a year) and lack of a labor office to complain to.
The government would well to educate business owners that human right violations will be dealt with severely (and jail some violators for a start) and educate locals and expats a like on health and safety. Further to educate laborers to report if there rights is being violated.
These are very difficult changes and usually are made in the time of crises. Now, the economy is booming so I’m not very optimistic.
