Amnesty International is a global movement of more than 10 million people who are committed to creating a future where human rights are enjoyed by everyone. United by our shared humanity, we know that the power to create positive change is within all of us.

We are funded by members and people like you. We are independent of any political ideology, economic interest or religion. We stand with victims of human rights violations whoever they are, wherever they are.

No government is beyond scrutiny. We uncover the truth. We hold human rights violators to account.

Amnesty International forms a global community of human rights defenders with the principles of international solidarity, effective action for the individual victim, global coverage, the universality
and indivisibility of human rights, impartiality and independence, and democracy and mutual
respect.

Amnesty International addresses governments, intergovernmental organizations, armed political
groups, companies and other non-state actors.
Amnesty International seeks to disclose human rights abuses accurately, quickly and persistently.
It systematically and impartially researches the facts of individual cases and patterns of human
rights abuses.

These findings are publicized, and members, supporters and staff mobilize public
pressure on governments and others to stop the abuses.
