Amnesty International is a worldwide movement of people dedicated to the protection and promotion of human rights. Towards this end: • Amnesty International takes action to stop grave abuses of the rights to physical and mental integrity, freedom of conscience and expression, and freedom from discrimination • Amnesty International seeks to expose human rights abuses accurately and quickly. These findings are publicized, and members, supporters and staff then mobilize persistent public pressure to prevent and stop these violations • Amnesty International promotes public awareness and understanding of the full range of human rights, and we work with a global community of organizations to ensure broad support and respect for all human rights • Amnesty International is governed by its members; we are independent of all governments, political persuasions and religious creeds. We are funded by our members and donors, and no funds are sought or accepted from governments
