Amnesty International


Amnesty International (AI) is a worldwide movement of people who compain for internationally recognized human rights. 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.

AI aims to protect human rights around the world and works towards the release of political prisoners and prisoners of conscience through letter- writting compaigns and public events.

AI activities range from public demonstrations to letter-writing, from human rights education to fundraising concerts, from individual appeals on a particular case to global campaigns on a particular issue.

Amnesty International has a varied network of members and supporters around the world. At the latest count, there were more then 2,2 million members, supporters and subscribers in over 150 countries and territories in every region of the world. Although they come from many different backgrounds and have widely different political and religious beliefs, they are united by a determination to work for a world where everyone enjoys human rights.

What is more, 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.

In Lithuania Amnesty International concerns about violence against women, “anti-terrorism” measures, protection for asylum-seekers and the rights of conscientious objectors were among those raised by international monitoring bodies.

In conclusion, AI is very important compain all over the world, which take care about everyone from all over the world.
