Amnistie Internationale est un mouvement mondial composé de bénévoles qui œuvrent pour le respect des droits de l'être humain. L'organisation est indépendante de tout gouvernement, de toute tendance politique et de toute croyance religieuse. Elle ne soutient ni ne rejette aucun gouvernement ni système politique, pas plus qu'elle ne défend ni ne repousse les convictions des victimes dont elle tente de défendre les droits. Sa seule et unique préoccupation est de contribuer impartialement à la protection des droits humains. Amnistie Internationale a la vision d'un monde dans lequel toute personne jouirait de l'ensemble des droits inscrits dans la Déclaration universelle des droits de l'homme et les autres normes internationales relatives aux droits humains. 1, record 2, French, - Amnistie%20Internationale
