Amnesty International
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.
