Description of Organization
|
Amnesty International's 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, AI's 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 |
