http://www.amnesty.org.au/achievement/

Extractions: We have increased world awareness of political imprisonment, torture, political killings and the death penalty. We have played a key role in establishing and improving national and international mechanisms for human rights protection. We have helped to change unjust laws and to outlaw cruel practices. But ultimately, all our research and campaigning is aimed at affecting the fate of individuals. Every year, prisoners, their lawyers and the families of victims of injustice thank Amnesty International for its efforts on their behalf. As an organisation, we don't claim credit when a prisoner is released, when clemency is granted or when a government's human rights record improves. However, former prisoners, torture victims and others who have suffered human rights abuse often insist that international pressure secured their freedom and saved their lives.

Extractions: In 1961, London lawyer Peter Benenson read about a group of students in Portugal who were arrested and jailed for raising a toast to "freedom" in a public restaurant. This incident prompted him to launch a one-year campaign called "Appeal for Amnesty 1961" in the London Observer, a local newspaper. The "Appeal for Amnesty" called for the release of all people imprisoned because of peaceful expression of their beliefs, politics, race, religion, colour, or national origin. Benenson called these people, "prisoners of conscience." His plan was to encourage people to write letters to government officials in countries which had prisoners of conscience, calling for their release.

Extractions: AI in Thailand had its initial beginnings in 1982. For more than a decade, it only had a nominal presence largely composed of former student dissident leaders. Following the 1992 massacre and political events in the country, there was more interest in AI and many new people joined. The idea of membership groups was introduced to students as well as other professionals and from there, three groups were established between 1991-1993. Today, there are nine groups active or in formation. Founded in 1961, Amnesty International is a Nobel Prize winning grassroots activist organization with over one-million members world wide. For the past 40 years AI has fought to defend victims of human rights violations. Learn more about Amnesty International Worldwide , its history, statute, facts and figures... The efforts for setting up a functioning office started in 1989, then a formal structure with a board was established in 1993. The first Annual General Meeting (AGM) for AI Thailand was held in February 1994. In the recent years, AI Thailand has grown from a small group of members into a well functioning structure with a democratically elected board, professional staff and fully equipped office. There is marked increase in membership and in the capacity of the local groups for campaigning.

Extractions: Sappiamo che la Guyana ha assunto un importante ruolo internazionale, in particolare nella OAS, per promuovere i diritti umani. Riconosciamo la gravità della situazione del crimine in Guyana e siamo coscienti che lo Stato ha l'obbligo di proteggere i suoi cittadini dalla criminalità, e che lo Stato e la società dovrebbero supportare le vittime del crimine al meglio delle sue possibilità. Comunque, vogliamo esprimere la nostra preoccupazione sul fatto che la nuova legislazione anti-crimine (la CLOAA 2002 e la PCAA 2002) violano i fondamentali diritti umani e aumenta il rischio che avvengano violazioni, in particolare a riguardo dell'estensione della pena di morte come pena obbligatoria un ampio campo di crimini di sangue. Inoltre, siamo preoccupati in merito alla ipotesi che la pena capitale possa esserre imposta a seguito di procesi ingiusti, mancanti degli standard internazionali sul giusto processo.

Extractions: Il 30 gennaio 2003, più della metà dei deputati dell'Assemblea Nazionale ha riproposto il disegno di legge per l'abolizione della pena di morte. Come il testo precedente, anche questo dovrà passare per la delibera dello Standing Committee for Judiciary and Legislation. Anche questa volta la Commissione sembra essere contraria a questo progetto di legge. Sono venuto a sapere che il 30 Gennaio 2003, circa un mese fa, un progetto di legge per l'abolizione della pena di morte è stato re-inviato da 155 membri della Assemblea Coreana. Questo progetto sta attualmente aspettando di essere deliberato dalla Commissione Permanente per l'Ordinamento Giudiziario e Legislativo. Sottilineiamo positivamente gli sforzi del Governo Koreano per far approvare questo progetto, e pensiamo che questo possa essere un contributo storico al rispetto dei diritti umani in tutto il mondo.

Extractions: February 8, 2000 by Carl Ballard Swanson On May 28, 1961 London lawyer Peter Benenson read about a group of students in Portugal who were arrested and jailed for raising a toast to "freedom" in a public restaurant. This incident prompted him to launch a one-year campaign called "Appeal for Amnesty 1961" in the London Observer , a local newspaper.

Benenson called these people, "prisoners of conscience." His plan was to encourage people to write letters to government officials in countries which had prisoners of conscience, calling for their release. Imagine what places like Kosovo or East Timor would degrade to without the efforts of Amnesty International and concerned neighbors. You only have to look as far as our own neighborhoods to realize the value of caring and empowered citizens. The work that local Amnesty International members do is not complex or difficult or even "political"; it is just being a good neighbor and knowing what is right and simply doing it. In 1977 Amnesty International was recognized with a Nobel Peace Prize for supporting the Universal Declaration of human rights. The Nobel Committee said "Through its activity for the defense of human worth against degrading treatment, violence and torture, Amnesty International has contributed to securing the ground for freedom, for justice, and thereby also for peace in the world." The basis of Amnesty's work is Universal human rights which most countries have recognized through the United Nations. You don't have to be a lawyer or know a foreign language to be part of Amnesty International.

Founded in 1961, Amnesty has grown into a worldwide organization with more than a million members all over the world. Amnesty groups are active in over 90 countries. In 1977, Amnesty was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The basis of the organization is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

(Article 3 UDHR) Amnesty works for the release of prisoners of conscience, fair trials for political prisoners, and for an end to torture, the death penalty, political killings and 'disappearances'. Besides, Amnesty seeks to promote all human rights in general. Its publications and campaigns are based on thorough and impartial research which double-checks all information. Amnesty is financially independent, not accepting gifts or subsidies from governments, and politically impartial, not taking a position on political issues. Most importantly, Amnesty is effective. Its work helps people who badly need support. Amnesty often receives thanks from prisoners for whom Amnesty appealed. For instance, Tong Yi, former personal assistant to China's main dissident Wei Jingsheng, was released in late 1996 after two-and-a-half years of "re-education through labour". She told Amnesty:

Extractions: The Beginning Amnesty International was launched in 1961 by British lawyer Peter Benenson. His newspaper appeal, "The Forgotten Prisoners", was published worldwide on 28 May 1961 and brought in more than 1,000 offers of support for the idea of an international campaign to protect human rights. Within 12 months the new organization had sent delegations to four countries to make representations on behalf of prisoners, and had taken up 210 cases. Amnesty International members had organized national bodies in seven countries. The first year's expenditure was £6,040. The principles of strict impartiality and independence were established. The emphasis was on the international protection of human rights: Amnesty International members were to act on cases worldwide and not become involved in cases in their own countries. Today There are nationally organized sections in 56 countries, 34 of them in Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa, Asia and the Middle East and Central Europe. Amnesty International USA is the United States Section of the international movement. AIUSA is also the largest of Amnesty's national sections.
