Migrant Workers and the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - How Could the European Court of Human Right Come into Action in Securing Access to Justice?

FIFA as the overarching, but private international football governing body in charge of the organization of the World Cup is not, as such, liable under the ECHR neither.
