The first Asia Regional Forum on Business and Human Rights was held in Doha, Qatar in April 2016. The programme featured sessions on protecting and respecting the rights of migrant workers and the impact of mega-sporting events on human rights - timely and relevant themes given the country's hosting of the 2022 World Cup and continuing allegations of migrant worker labour abuses.

The event garnered national and international media coverage in English and Arabic, an overview of which can be found below.
