English Language Page Amnesty International functions in accordance with the mandate the organization has taken. The goals of Amnesty International are: - liberation of all prisoners of conscience, e.g. people, who are in prison not because they committed a crime, but because of their beliefs or their ethnical affiliation, sex, race or language; - provision of a just and timely trial for those who are detained on the basis of political motives; - abolition of the death penalty, the seizure of torture and cruel treatment of prisoners, elimination of out-of-court reprisals and “disappearances”. Amnesty International also opposes violations that are committed by opposition groups, such as: taking hostages, torture and arbitrary murders. At present Amnesty International has more than one million members, signatories and people that provide the organization with financial support, in over 190 countries. Sections of Amnesty International are active in 54 countries. 33 sections operate in countries of Latin-America the Caribbean region, Africa, Asia, the Middle-East and Central-Europe. Back |
