BWI welcomes SEANF’s decision to review the Myanmar National Human Rights Commission’s membership. This is long overdue. Since the 2021 coup, MNHRC has failed workers, trade unions and civilians while the junta commits grave abuses.

He played a key role in the signing of the first-ever agreement between BWI Global Union and FIFA to advance workers' rights at FIFA tournaments. His dismissal is yet another reminder that the governance crisis engulfing FIFA threatens to undermine human rights protections at the heart of world football.
It’s another bad sign for @FIFAcom when the defacto head of #HumanRights, Kevin Lamour, isn’t able to keep his job.
“FIFA needs more--not fewer--senior officials prepared to own and answer for its poor governance systems that lead to human rights catastrophes”:

Kevin Lamour was a constructive partner and someone we could work with in good faith to protect the rights of the workers who build and maintain the infrastructure that makes FIFA tournaments possible. He played a key role in the signing of the first-ever agreement between BWI Global Union and FIFA to advance workers’ rights at FIFA tournaments. His dismissal is yet another reminder that the governance crisis engulfing FIFA threatens to undermine human rights protections at the heart of world football.

Democracy means the freedom to speak, join a union, bargain collectively, & shape our future.
As authoritarianism rises, young workers will not be silent. #IYD2026 ✊

FIFA’s leadership crisis is bigger than one person. Real change requires systemic reforms that embed transparency, accountability, good governance, & human rights at the heart of world football. Otherwise, corruption & abuse will persist.
