The independent FIFA Human Rights Advisory Board (HRAB), which comprises eight international experts in human rights and related areas, has published its fourth report and recommendations. The report, which covers the period from May to December 2019, recognises the important progress that FIFA has made on human rights over the last few years, while also highlighting the need for the organisation to now focus on embedding accountability for human rights at the political and governance levels.

"We very much welcome the advisory board’s latest report and wish to thank the members for their support and expert guidance in helping us to develop and strengthen our work in this area and as we look to embed human rights across football,” said FIFA’s Chief Social Responsibility and Education Officer, Joyce Cook. "In line with the board’s advice, we are currently revisiting our human rights work with a view to further strengthen the integration of human rights at all levels of the organisation."
