Amnesty International: The Struggle for Human Rights


Amnesty International (AI) is a worldwide movement of people acting on the convictions that governments must not deny individuals their basic human rights and that ordinary men and women can effectively pressure governments to live up to their commitments in human decency. The organization was awarded the 1977 Nobel Peace Prize for its efforts to promote global observance of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Tights. AI's effectiveness depends on its impartial application of a single standard of human rights to every country in the world.
