Amnesty International Australia is part of a global member driven organisation working to protect and promote human rights.

There are countless human rights abuses, violations and atrocities in the world but the human rights movement has developed to oppose them. Amnesty International is recognised as the defender of human rights.

We are here to investigate, document and expose human rights abuses. We pressure governments to abide by their responsibilities under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights � which every member state of the United Nations has accepted and signed. Amnesty International is involved in a wide range of human rights education, and we encourage non-governmental organisations and businesses to support and respect human rights.

We received the Nobel Peace Prize for our contribution to �securing the ground for freedom, for justice and thereby for peace in the world�.

Amnesty International is totally self-funded. To preserve complete independence we do not accept any government or political funding for our work in documenting and campaigning against human rights violations. That way, we�re free to criticise with objectivity and impartiality.

There are several ways you can support Amnesty International. You can become a Human Rights Defender by contributing a certain amount each month, become a member, make a donation or leave a bequest. Alternatively you may wish to join either a local group or network, become an office volunteer or simply join a letter writing campaign!
