Organizations Filed Purposes:
To undertake research and action, focused on preventing and ending grave abuses of human rights.
These are challenging times for justice and human rights. Inequality is rising. Armed conflicts, mass movements of people and competition for scarce resources are leaving people vulnerable. And while more people are striving to get their voices heard, states are responding by cracking down on human rights - often in the name of protecting public order or ending terrorism. In this context, Amnesty International's vision of a world in which every person enjoys all of the human rights, is more relevant than ever. In accordance with the articles of association, The mission of Amnesty International is to undertake research and action, focused on preventing and ending grave abuses of these rights. Our core values are of an organization that forms a global community of human rights defenders based on the principles of international solidarity, effective action for the individual victim, the universality and indivisibility of human rights, impartiality and independence, and mutual respect. To realize our vision and mission, Amnesty International articulates its organizational aims in periodic strategic plans. In 2015, we adopted Taking Injustice Personally: Strategic Goals 2016 - 2019 to focus our work and to help allocate our resources more strategically and efficiently. The responsibility for achieving the Goals is shared by the entire Amnesty International movement. To achieve lasting progress worldwide, we ensure that we always: - Analyze why human rights abuses happen, guided by the people whose rights are violated - Identify the most effective ways to create change - Confront and expose states, corporations and institutions that violate rights - Act quickly and effectively to support prisoners of conscience and people facing injustice - Innovate to achieve the most powerful impact - Put equality and especially gender equality at the heart of our work and we will protect the rights of groups who are discriminated against on multiple grounds - Remain ready to change in the face of new challenges - Work with partners who share our determination - Support people to claim the human rights that we all share.
