European Parliament Votes To Boycott UAE Expo Due To Human Rights Issues
Expo 2020 is expected to take place between October 2021 and March 2022 and is part of the rotating World’s Expo. However, the European Parliament is calling on the Member States to not participate.
The European Parliament passed a resolution calling on the Member States not to participate in the Expo 2020 Dubai, and for international companies to withdraw their sponsorship. They did this based on the nation’s human rights track record.
However, the decision by the BIE (Bureau International des Expositions) to hold this year’s expo in Dubai has drawn backlash from human rights groups due to the UAE’s treatment of women and migrant workers, as well as its role in the Yemeni war.
NGOs have been calling for the government and leaders to boycott the Expo.
“Without attention on these violations, there will be no accountability. And without accountability, there will be no justice and no end to the UAE’S human rights abuses. These European parliamentarians have set the standard for responsible leadership when it comes to holding the UAE abusers behind the Dubai Expo accountable. It is shocking that any other invitees, be they CEO or diplomat, would even consider legitimizing criminals by attending this dictator expo.”

European Parliament Votes To Boycott UAE Expo 2020. Here is the first comment from our campaign portal, ‘BoycottUAE.Com’.
“The reason perfectly asserted for the request to ‘Boycott UAE Expo’ is the Human Rights abuses of United Arab Emirates (UAE). It is indeed a great job that the European Parliament has adopted such a strong resolution against UAE’s despotic rulers. Now the harsh reality stands nakedly exposed to the world. The UAE Expo 2020 is very unlikely to be successful as the stand of the European Parliament has its footing on a hard rock of the ‘truth’ which no one can tilt at all”.
