Amnesty International is a global movement of more than 7 million people who take injustice as a personal matter. We are campaigning for a world where everyone can avail themselves of their rights.
We are funded by our members and people like you. We are independent of any political ideology, any economic interest or any religion. No government escapes our vigilance. No situation is desperate.
In the early days, few people imagined that torturers would become international outlaws. It seemed unlikely that most countries would abolish the death penalty. It seemed equally inconceivable that dictators who were reputed to be untouchable should one day be accountable for their crimes.
