Amnesty International is a global movement of millions of people demanding human rights for all people – no matter who they are or where they are. Founded in 1961, we are the world’s oldest and largest grassroots human rights organization. We have a vision of a world where everyone can enjoy the human rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international human rights mechanisms. To achieve this vision, our mission is to undertake research and action focused on preventing and ending grave abuses of these rights. Our core values are rooted in our commitment to the global community of human rights defenders that make up our membership: International solidarity; Effective action for the individual victim; Global coverage; Universality and indivisibility of human rights; Impartiality and independence; Democracy and human rights.
