Is AI really impartial as it claims ?
About Amnesty International
http://web.amnesty.org/pages/aboutai-index-eng
Amnesty International (AI) is a worldwide movement of people who
campaign for internationally recognized human rights.
AIs vision is of a world in which every person enjoys all of the
human rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
and other international human rights standards.
In pursuit of this vision, AIs mission is to undertake research
and action focused on preventing and ending grave abuses of the
rights to physical and mental integrity, freedom of conscience and
expression, and freedom from discrimination, within the context of
its work to promote all human rights.
AI is independent of any
government, political ideology, economic interest or religion. It
does not support or oppose any government or political system, nor
does it support or oppose the views of the victims whose rights it
seeks to protect. It is concerned solely with the impartial
protection of human rights.
AI has a varied network of members and supporters around the world.
At the latest count, there were more than 1.8 million members,
supporters and subscribers in over 150 countries and territories in
every region of the world. Although they come from many different
backgrounds and have widely different political and religious
beliefs, they are united by a determination to work for a world
where everyone enjoys human rights.
AI is a democratic, self-governing movement. Major policy decisions
are taken by an International Council made up of representatives
from all national sections.
AIs national sections and local volunteer groups are primarily
responsible for funding the movement. No funds are sought or
accepted from governments for AIs work investigating and
campaigning against human rights violations.
