Amnesty International From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Amnesty International (also called AI or Amnesty ) is an international organisation . They fight for human rights . For example, they help people who have been put in prison for their political beliefs. Amnesty International also fights to end the use of death penalty worldwide. change What they believe in Amnesty International is based on these central ideas Every person has human rights. Human rights cannot be taken away from a person. They are natural laws that are the right of all human beings from their birth on. Human rights cannot be divided. When one right is taken away, this is also bad for other rights. When one right is protected, other rights are in a better position as well. Human rights will not be protected by governments alone. Governments have said they will protect human rights, and then not acted upon it. Human rights organisations have to influence the governments. To protect human rights, people must help other people. Danger for human rights starts at the level of single persons. To help one person means to stop the danger from growing. One person alone can do this.
