LACK OF GUIDANCE — NATION OF VIOLATION

LACK OF GUIDANCE - NATION OF VIOLATION

With the QATAR World Cup 2022 and beyond, it is important not to lose sight of the atrocities that occurred in return for our enjoyment and a country’s political and economic gain. We can’t just point the finger, but must be critical of ourselves and in particular all future host nations.

That's why Manifold and Lack of Guidance created a intuitive visual research around human rights. Thirty universal rights. Not determined by borders, ethnicity or religion. The core of the project is a uniquely designed football that showcases the truth about the human rights records and situation of a country. The ball is an assemblage of 30 diamonds — one for every human right.

The shape is black when a human right is complied with, white when not. As a result, every football contains a different pattern for each competing country. The lighter the ball — the worse the human rights situation in the country is.

This project has the purpose of bringing awareness about human rights, and the broad range of violations that still occur in many different countries. Although we tried to be as accurate as possible, we do not claim to provide an official list of the human rights that were being violated in the countries that participate in the FIFA World Cup. Also, the amount of human rights violations in a country does not necessarily say something about the overall protection of human rights in that country. It should rather be seen as a collection of important events in those countries that raised concerns about the protection of certain human rights.
