The ITUC welcomed the International Labour Organisation’s (ILO) decision yesterday to reject Qatar’s false and misleading claims that it had ended the kafala system, giving it until November to force a change.
The bloodstained Gulf state submitted a document to the ILO last week concerning the system which has been likened to modern slavery, after the ITUC lodged a complaint in June 2014.
The ILO’s governing body decided that Qatar failed to demonstrate that it had abolished the system, despite the unprecedented deployment of dozens of lobbyists at the meeting aiming to shut down any possibility of the UN body’s strongest compliance procedure being applied.
