The British magazine Politics stressed the importance of Qatar’s announcement of the allocation of an independent Ministry of Labor as part of a cabinet reshuffle and the appointment of Dr. Ali bin Saeed bin Smaikh Al-Marri as Minister of Labor, which contributes to strengthening Qatar’s record on workers’ rights British magazine: "Allocating a Ministry of Labor enhances workers’ rights", due to his record in support of human rights at the national and international level. The magazine highlighted that with the start of the countdown to the World Cup, there are great indications that advanced steps have been taken to improve the file of migrant workers in Doha. Observers emphasize that this will enable them to be more effective in achieving their goals in light of the changes taking place both at home and abroad. The report highlighted that Doha has taken important steps in labor reforms, as Qatar is the second Gulf country to set a minimum wage for migrant workers after Kuwait. "Qatar's new labor reforms can dramatically improve living and working conditions for migrant workers," said Michael Page, deputy Middle East and North Africa director at Human Rights Watch. The report continued: Doha has made amendments to the Labor Law with regard to entry, exit, residence, and the possibility of changing jobs without the employer's permission at any time, including during the probationary period. In 2017, Qatar entered into a three-year technical cooperation program with the International Labor Organization to reform conditions for migrant workers and the kafala system. The magazine pointed out that a few days ago, an international report prepared by international organizations and human rights bodies concluded that the State of Qatar succeeded in testing the reforms of its legislative system, and won the bet to improve workers' conditions, before the World Cup in 2022. An independent report showed that conditions for workers have improved and the human rights situation has improved significantly. The report indicated that observers considered that the appointment of His Excellency Dr. Ali bin Saeed bin Smaikh Al-Marri as Minister of Labor, who has served as Chairman of the National Human Rights Committee in the State of Qatar since 2009, represents a new impetus to improve the state of workers' rights in the country, in light of his work background and mission. His Excellency also has strong relations with the International Labor Organization and labor ministers in various countries. His Excellency has extensive experience in the field of international work in relation to the protection and promotion of human rights at the local and international levels.
