Summary“Everyone has the right to life, liberty, and security of person,” states the third article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The General Assembly of the United Nations adopted this declaration in 1948. The members of the Non-Governmental organization, Amnesty International, campaign worldwide for the rights named in the declaration and work to protect them. The members of this organization carry out their work by researching issues of human rights violations and publicizing their findings through news media, detailed reports, and advertisements. Amnesty International began in 1961 London as a volunteer movement and is still made up of volunteer activists regardless of their background or religious and political views. These members work to protect the rights of people while remaining neutral on the views of the victims it sets out to protect. Although various world media accuses Amnesty International of bias in its selective coverage, political persuasion, and ideological beliefs, this organization protects human rights by remaining independent from any government, party, or religion
