Amnesty International (commonly known as Amnesty or AI) is a London-based non-governmental organization focused on human rights. The organization says it has more than seven million members and supporters around the world.The stated mission of the organization is to campaign for "a world in which every person enjoys all of the human rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international human rights instruments."[3]
Amnesty International was founded in London in 1961, following the publication of the article "The Forgotten Prisoners" in The Observer on 28 May 1961,[4] by the lawyer Peter Benenson. Amnesty draws attention to human rights abuses and campaigns for compliance with international laws and standards. It works to mobilize public opinion to put pressure on governments that let abuse take place.[5] Amnesty considers capital punishment to be "the ultimate, irreversible denial of human rights".[6] The organization was awarded the 1977 Nobel Peace Prize for its "defence of human dignity against torture",[7] and the United Nations Prize in the Field of Human Rights in 1978.[8]
In the field of international human rights organizations, Amnesty has the third longest history, after the International Federation for Human Rights, and broadest name recognition, and is believed by many to set standards for the movement as a whole.
Amnesty International was founded in London in July 1961 by English labour lawyer Peter Benenson along with his friend Philip James, Professor of Law.[10]According to Benenson's own account, he was travelling in the London Undergroundon 19 November 1960 when he read that two Portuguese students from Coimbra had been sentenced to seven years of imprisonment in Portugal for allegedly "having drunk a toast to liberty".[a][11]Researchers have never traced the alleged newspaper article in question.[a] In 1960, Portugal was ruled by the Estado Novogovernment of António de Oliveira Salazar.[12] The government was authoritarian in nature and strongly anti-communist, suppressing enemies of the state as anti-Portuguese.
