‘FIFA officials violate the norms and standards of good conduct’, says ex-UN chief in resignation email

The remarkably undiplomatic language was used by the former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights in her resignation email to FIFA general secretary Fatma Samoura.

The former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights told FIFA she could no longer serve on its governance committee because its officials "violate the norms and standards of good conduct".

The remarkably undiplomatic language was used by South African judge Navi Pillay in her resignation email to FIFA general secretary Fatma Samoura, a former UN official herself, on May 17.
