About Amnesty International

Amnesty International is an international non-governmental human rights organisation and a movement of over 10 million members, activists and supporters in more than 150 countries and territories. It is independent of any government, political ideology, economic interest, or religion. Amnesty International's mission is to advocate for global compliance with international human rights law, the development of human rights norms, and the effective enjoyment of human rights by all persons. To do so, Amnesty International monitors state compliance with international human rights law and engages in research, advocacy, strategic litigation, and education to prevent and end human rights violations and to demand justice for those whose rights have been violated.
