Amnesty International History Video

Amnesty International is a worldwide movement of people who campaign for internationally recognized human rights to be respected and protected for everyone.

We believe human rights abuses anywhere are the concern of people everywhere.

So, outraged by human rights abuses but inspired by hope for a better world, we work to improve people's lives through campaigning and international solidarity.

Our mission is to conduct research and generate action to prevent and end grave abuses of human rights and to demand justice for those whose rights have been violated.

Our members and supporters exert influence on governments, political bodies, companies and intergovernmental groups.

Activists take up human rights issues by mobilizing public pressure through mass demonstrations, vigils and direct lobbying as well as online and offline campaigning.

We have more than 2.2 million members and subscribers in more than 150 countries and regions and we coordinate this support to act for justice on a wide range of issues.

thanks for showing how it started - human conscience is global, inherited to all humans independent from religion, customs, time

"It is only if human life is respected from conception to death that the ethics of peace is also possible and credible," concluded the Pope. "It is only then that non-violence can express itself in every direction; only then that we truly welcome creation, and only then that we can arrive at true justice." Pope Benedict XVI

@niten73 I couldn't have said this any better. I may not be from Tibet, but I support and endorse their freedom from the Chinese gov't.

I thought Amnesty Int. was a member of IANSA, actively working to disarm law abiding civilian populations in UN countries in an attempt to reduce civilian casualties from firearms.

Isnt self defense a human right? Why do these groups say it IS NOT, that civilians do not need arms because their gov & police will always be there to protect them? One would think these guys would know govs kill many of their own citizens.

Self defence is a human right, denied by Amnesty International.
