In this episode, we dive into Prof.Dr.Sebahattin Devecioglu’s analysis of the FIFA and its stated human rights commitments and its inaction regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, specifically concerning Israeli football clubs operating in the occupied West Bank.

This podcast offer an analysis of the conflict between FIFA's stated human rights commitments and its inaction regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, specifically concerning Israeli football clubs operating in the occupied West Bank. They highlight the argument that FIFA President Gianni Infantino's refusal to take action against Israel—citing that FIFA cannot solve geopolitical problems—violates the organization's own foundational documents, including Article 3 of the FIFA Statutes and the 2017 FIFA Human Rights Policy. Furthermore, the text mentions that United Nations experts have called on both FIFA and UEFA to ban Israel from international football due to these human rights violations, arguing that the clubs' activities constitute a clear breach of international law. The sources stress the inherent contradiction between FIFA's explicit commitment to upholding all internationally recognized human rights and its choice to not enforce this policy in this particular political context.
