This article is a joint publication of TheNation.com and Foreign Policy In Focus.

Since FIFA picked Qatar to host the 2022 World Cup, the tiny and über-rich Gulf emirate has increasingly come under scrutiny for its failure to protect the human rights of its huge foreign workforce.

Qatar's 1.8 million foreign workers-who vastly outnumber the country's 300,000 native citizens-are frequently deprived of wages, trapped into permanent debt, exposed to hazardous working conditions and denied the right to unionize. Approximately 1,000 foreign workers have died in Qatar since 2012, according to Qatar's government. Independent human rights organizations claim that the figure is even higher.

Amid growing international calls to pull the Cup from Qatar, Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani has promised new reforms aimed at safeguarding workers' rights. It remains to be seen whether he is serious.

The large-scale use of foreign labor is widespread throughout the monarchies of the Persian Gulf, where traditional royal elites, businesses and private individuals have accrued high levels of wealth despite the region's small domestic workforce. Bolstered by its natural gas exports, Qatar, for example, has the highest gross domestic product per capita of any country in the world. Through energy exports and financial services, the five other members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)-Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates-have also cultivated substantial financial reserves.

This wealth has enabled Gulf countries to invest heavily in massive new infrastructure works, but the region lacks a sufficient indigenous workforce to staff these projects. Additionally, many Gulf states provide robust social benefits for their native citizens, which decreases the incentive for natives to work in hazardous fields like construction.

Consequently, demand for migrant workers is substantial. The Gulf's construction boom has been fueled by a massive influx of workers, primarily from Asia, who also take jobs in domestic work and other low-wage fields. These foreign laborers are driven to the Gulf by poor economic prospects in their home countries and the perception that a steady income can be earned easily in the Gulf. But many arrive to find a waking nightmare.

Indentured Servitude

A key plank in the Gulf's foreign labor apparatus is called the kafala, or "sponsorship," system.

The system entails middlemen who travel to Southeast Asia and sell the right to work in the Gulf to prospective migrants. Once in debt to the middlemen, who "sponsor" the workers' right to travel to the Gulf, the laborers are expected to pay off their debt to the sponsor by working long hours-often in the construction industry, where workers labor away in temperatures that can rise above 50 degrees Celsius, or 122 degrees Fahrenheit.

The physical toll on these workers is brutal. Between 2010 and 2012 alone, an estimated 700 Indian workers died in Qatar, and Nepali authorities say that hundreds of their own nationals have perished there as well. According to estimates by the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC), without reforms to the region's labor laws and proper enforcement, some 4,000 workers could die on construction projects related to the 2022 World Cup alone. The ITUC reports that workers are often denied access to water and shade, and that the shelter reserved for them is unsanitary and dehumanizing.

Yet because permission from their sponsor is required to seek a new employer, foreign laborers are often trapped in their jobs. This ensures that their paltry wages are used to pay off the debt incurred by their travel. Without citizenship or any political rights, and unable to exit the country-their passports are frequently seized by authorities upon arrival-these foreign workers are trapped in what can only be described as virtual slavery or indentured servitude.

Foreign women employed as domestic workers for the GCC's wealthy residents are particularly vulnerable to exploitation. Secluded in private homes and typically denied the right to leave, they're often trapped with employers who withhold pay and subject them to appalling episodes of physical assault and sexual violence.

And there is not much they can do about it, as this April 2014 report from Amnesty International makes clear:

Women [in Qatar] who have been physically or sexually abused face major obstacles to getting justice. None of the women researchers spoke to had seen their attackers prosecuted or convicted. In one horrific case, a domestic worker broke both her legs and fractured her spine when she fell from a window as she tried to escape a rape attack by her employer. Her attacker then proceeded to sexually assault her as she lay on the ground, injured and unable to move. Only afterwards did he call an ambulance.

When researchers interviewed her six months after the attack, she was still using a wheelchair. Despite her appalling injuries, the Public Prosecutor dismissed the case due to "lack of evidence" and she returned to the Philippines last year. Her employer has never been held accountable.

While there have been some reforms for domestic workers put on the table by GCC leaders, the language has largely been vague and thus far inconsequential.

A Regional Phenomenon

Recognizable patterns recur throughout the GCC.

In Saudi Arabia, the GCC's economic powerhouse, human rights organizations have documented widespread labor rights abuses that include long working hours, wage theft and violence against domestic workers.

A particularly egregious case was the beheading of Rizana Nafeek, a 24-year-old Sri Lankan woman working as a maid in Dawadmi, in January 2013. She was charged with strangling the 4-month-old baby of her employer to death. Evidence against Nafeek was limited to a "confession" that she signed following her arrest, which Nafeek said was coerced and undertaken without the assistance of a translator. Complicating matters, Nafeek's family said she had lied about her age on her passport application, meaning that in 2005-the year of the alleged offense-she was only 17, and thus a minor under standards set by international law. She was tried without legal representation and subsequently executed over the fervent protests of the Sri Lankan government.

The United Arab Emirates, where guest workers outnumber citizens nearly 8 to 1, has been taken to task for deporting workers who strike, housing workers in poor conditions and stealing the passports of employees. Like FIFA's embarrassment over the World Cup in Qatar, Western artistic, academic and cultural institutions that have established operations in the UAE have been repeatedly embarrassed by the emirate's treatment of its workers.

New York University, for example, has faced a public relations nightmare over the construction of a satellite campus in Abu Dhabi. Although the university's officials issued a "statement of labor values" after deciding to build the campus in 2009, the New York Times reported in May that workers on the NYU campus, who were employed by the BK Gulf Corporation, were paid as little as $272 per month, which doesn't go far in a country famous for its opulence. The paper reported that up to fifteen workers were forced to share rooms scarcely bigger than 200 square feet. Eventually, the workers launched a strike which, on its second day, was met by a violent police crackdown. Hundreds were subsequently deported.

Similar problems have been reported in oil-rich Kuwait, where 2 million expatriate workers live next to 1.8 million natives, as well as Bahrain, where guest workers face the additional challenge of navigating political tensions since the failed uprising of 2011, when Shiite-led protests against Bahrain's ruling monarchy were quashed by troops from Saudi Arabia and other GCC countries.

Prospects for Reform

In response to widespread criticism over its World Cup preparations, Qatar's government has promised several reforms for guest workers, including changes in the kafala system that would enable foreign workers to exit the country or change jobs with less difficulty.

However, the ITUC and others are highly skeptical about what, if anything, the reforms will achieve. An ITUC spokesperson stated that foreign workers in Qatar still have "no freedom of association, no minimum wage, and no effective labor compliance system. None of the laws seem to apply to domestic workers." Moreover, migrant workers will still require exit visas to leave the country, giving the state the authority to decide if and when the workers can return to their countries of origin. That means that nearly 1.8 of Qatar's 2.1 million residents are trapped there, with virtually no legal protection, at the state's discretion.

Unfortunately, while such staggering figures highlight an imperative for reform, many human rights observers are pessimistic. The Qatari economy has become massively dependent on foreign workers, especially for construction. Without these workers, the Qatari "miracle" of breakneck urbanization, sky-high average incomes and rapid modernization would have been impossible. As the number of migrant workers grows, the cost of providing them with even basic labor protections will only rise, further increasing the economic costs of real reform.

But if Gulf leaders prove indifferent to pressure from global civil society, economic factors might move them to act. As the GCC makes an economic pivot toward Asia, demands from source countries could force them to improve conditions for migrant laborers.

For example, earlier this year, Saudi Arabia and Indonesia inked an agreement to grant Indonesian workers in the kingdom greater rights, including the right to keep their passports, communicate with family members, get paid on a monthly basis and have time off. This agreement followed Indonesia's August 2011 ban on sending migrant workers to Saudi Arabia, where reports of horrific abuses of Indonesian workers had circulated for years. While Human Rights Watch assessed that these new regulations amounted only to " slow moves in the right direction," the pressure from Jakarta underscored the leverage that Asian governments can wield over the GCC states that rely on their migrant laborers.

But change won't come easily. Only a few months ago, GCC states unanimously refused to endorse a protocol by the International Labor Organization for the improvement of labor standards.

The plight of foreign laborers in the Gulf underscores a dark underside to the modern, glossy exterior the GCC states like to showcase to the world. In the absence of a powerful labor movement in the Gulf, the GCC's millions of suffering foreign laborers will have to hope that their home countries can protect them abroad, even if they couldn't provide jobs at home.

THE horrific conditions of workers building the 2022 World Cup facilities in Qatar can be revealed today.

We secretly toured the camps where thousands of immigrant workers are living in misery, squalor and fear in the Gulf state.

Labourers building the stadiums, hotels, roads and hospitals in a £39billion development revealed how:

Healthy young men are dying from heart attacks and heat exhaustion working in temperatures topping 40C.

Their bosses have confiscated their passports to stop them fleeing the country

Some workers building the World Cup stadiums are not even being paid.

One told us: "We are trapped in a nightmare. We are treated like animals, not human beings."

Thanks to its natural gas reserves, Qatar is the richest country in the world per head of population.

It also enjoys a growing influence over world football with ownership of French giants Paris Saint-Germain and a lucrative sponsorship deal with Barcelona.

But while its 250,000 nationals enjoy a life of luxury, more than a million migrant workers from countries such as Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bangladesh are living like slaves in squalid camps.

We joined Labour MP Jim Murphy, the shadow international development secretary, on a fact-finding investigation organised by the International Trade Union Confederation.

According to the labour union, 1200 migrant workers have died since 2010, when Qatar controversially won the right to host the 2022 event. And they warn that as many as 4000 could die before a single ball is kicked in eight years' time.

Murphy said: "As Qatar gears up to 2022, the abuse has to stop. Football cannot tolerate a World Cup built on the back of workers' abuse, misery and blood.

"In my meetings with the people in charge of Qatar 2022, they made some big promises of change. After this investigation, it's urgent that they deliver.

"As work begins on the stadiums, the international pressure has to be stepped up. Fifa must act and the SFA have to speak out."

On Wednesday, the Qatari government insisted that the country's workforce are treated "very well" and there has been "great improvement" in the conditions of workers in recent months. But that night, under cover of darkness, risking arrest and imprisonment, we visited camps to see first-hand the truth about the plight of the migrant workforce.

A half-hour drive from the gleaming city skyline of Doha, we found thousands of workers living in slum conditions.

We visited one camp, where more than 2000 men live.

There was an overpowering smell of excrement as we arrived. There were no Western-style toilets but holes in the floor. Others washed themselves using buckets of water. Salty water was used for drinking and washing.

Dirty water or sewage flowed under our feet. Staff cooked their meals on filthy, grimy grills and stoves, with no sign of fridges or freezers.

Workers slept in overcrowded accommodation, often 12 to each 4m by 4m room, separated by walls an inch thick and made of cheap wood.

We were forced to leave when the labour camp boss threatened to call the Qatari police. If caught, we risked being arrested and held in custody.

Conditions were no different at another camp. We have chosen not to identify it to protect the men who spoke to us.

Young men in football tops asked us the latest match scores as they had no TVs, radio or internet access.

But despite their love of the beautiful game, they can only dream of being able to afford to see football matches when the World Cup comes to Qatar.

One man working on a World Cup stadium said his employer had stopped paying him.

When he had been paid, he received £132 a month - the same amount as the cheapest ticket for international supporters to see the opening game of the World Cup in Brazil this summer.

We also heard from workers about the desperation of their situation.

They revealed how they had paid hundreds of pounds to secure jobs in Qatar through recruitment agencies.

But once they had got there, the companies they are working for confiscated their passports.

They were then sent to work in soaring temperatures topping 40C.

One workers' rights campaigner told us that employees are more likely to die from heart attacks or heat stress than industrial accidents.

He said men as young as 25 were dying from heart attacks because of their working and living conditions.

But for many, there is no escape. Under Qatar's kafala system, workers cannot change jobs or leave the country without their boss's permission.

Some revealed that their employers had not paid them for months but they could not change jobs.

Many have not seen their families for years.

Murphy said: "Until now, this was the ugly secret of the beautiful game. If this abuse continues, this would be a World Cup that shames the history and romance of a tournament that has brought us the footballing genius of Puskas, Cruyff and Pele."

Kamal, 32, Bangladesh

I had to pay a recruitment agency £3000 to come here. I was a stonemason in Bangladesh but now I lay road kerbs.

I should have been paid £149 a month but I am only paid £116 a month. However, it is more than I would have been paid at home.

Despite working here for eight years, I have no savings. Everything I earn, I send back home. It is 10 months since I was last home to see my wife and two children.

Work lasts from 6am till 5.30pm each day, which includes an unpaid lunch break of one-and-a-half hours. It takes 45 minutes by bus to get to the construction site. So when I come home, all I do is eat and sleep. I don't have strength to do anything else.

Many more people will be coming here for jobs because of the construction work needed for the World Cup and I worry that they will be treated like me.

I have two teenage sons and hope they won't have to come here for work. I want them to go to university and have a good standard of living. You don't have any benefits here, only problems.

Kasun, 21, Sri Lanka

I have been working as an electrician's helper for a sub-contractor on one of the stadiums being built for the World Cup.

I came here six months ago and earned £132 per month for working seven days a week.

But the company have not paid me for the past three months. My supervisor always says, "I'll pay you tomorrow."

I get food on credit from the supermarket but I need money to send home. I have three sisters and brothers at home and they need my support.

I am hopeful that I will be paid eventually.

Lahiru, 34, Sri Lanka

I was a supervisor on a building site, which employed 500 workers, and earned a good salary of £400 a month.

But then my employer disappeared and I haven't been paid for six months.

The company closed and I simply do not know where my boss is.

Working for another employer would be breaking the law in Qatar.

Under Qatar's kafala system, workers cannot change jobs or leave the country without their employer's permission. But I cannot contact my employer. He never answers his mobile phone.

I have relatives here and they are helping me to survive.

I haven't seen my wife or son for five years. My son is six now.

I keep telling myself I will be home the next month. The truth is that I don't know when or how I will get home.

Sajith, 47, Sri Lanka

I have lost almost all of the sight in my left eye after a masonry nail went into it while I was working on a building site for apartments.

The company I work for did not give me safety glasses to protect my eyes.

It was only after I was almost blinded in one eye that workers were given safety glasses.

I have had two operations on my eye and may need another one.

The doctor told me to take three months off work to recover. I am paid £200 a month but I don't get paid when I am off sick and I could only afford to take 15 days off.

I have worked here for two years and three months and haven't been home.

It would be too upsetting for my family back home in Sri Lanka to hear about my injury. I can't face telling them.

Being blind in one eye makes the job more difficult but I have to keep working.

I have no insurance so I didn't receive any compensation.

Peter, 23, Kenya

Working here feels like being in a prison. I sleep in a 12ft-by-12ft room with five other men.

The beds are too small and the mattresses are so thin - about an inch thick - that it is difficult to sleep on them.

One of the other workers found a mattress lying outside that was filthy and covered in bedbugs. But he decided that it would be better to sleep on it because it was thicker than one of the thin mattresses.

I am a labourer and am helping to build a new hospital.

I have been given some protective clothing because there is a lot of dust but I haven't been given a protective mask. I fear for my health.

We feel isolated because we don't know what is happening in the outside world. We have no TV, radio or internet. We could buy a television but we send every penny we earn back to our families.

I paid a recruitment agency more than £500 to come here. I was told that I would earn £250 a month but I am only getting half that amount. My mother is alone in Kenya and I am the breadwinner. I feel betrayed.

I get an allowance of £33 a month for food but it is not enough to keep my strength up. I eat mostly rice and beans.

I can't leave the country because my employer has my passport. It was taken from me when I arrived in Qatar. I only have a photocopy of my passport.

Please do something to help us.

Kaedyn Turel and Jenna Green created the slavery prevention organization to prevent the ongoing occurance of slavery acroos the world today. The forces that are joining us is the Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau and the Canadian armed forces. The first thing that we are doing to spread the word about this ongoing crisis is making posters and newsletters that will be spread worldwide so that people can see and donate money to our organization to help us stop slavery. We are also going to be making assemblies across Canadian schools to make kids aware of what is going on in the world and what they can do too make a difference in the Slavery prevention organization. I think our strategy to raise money for our organization is effective because when kids/people see what kind of torture these people our going through each and everyday they are going to want to help stop it because we are all people and we wouldnt want to see young teens and children being sexually used and also being used for hard days of work this no pay and horrible living conditions.
