Amnesty International (AI) is composed of individuals around the world who take action together on behalf of those whose fundamental human rights are being violated. Our AI chapter here at Mitchell organizes events, hosts actions and takes on global as well as local issues in a conscientious effort to achieve compliance by governments and individuals with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other UN, EU and NGO-generated international human rights standards and norms.
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.
