- Amnesty International - For "the release of prisoners of conscience, fair and prompt trials for all political prisoners and the abolition of the death penalty, torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment."
www.amnesty.org
- message: Amnesty's Silence - "I believe that AI and HRW's silence on [the sanctions on Iraq] when it is so vocal on other issues like Pinochet or Kosovo or Turkey not only allows government propaganda to go unanswered, but breeds suspicion that the suffering of Iraqis cannot really be that bad. After all, if it was so bad, surely Amnesty would say something?"

- Statute of Amnesty International - Includes the Mandate, which sets out the scope of abuses amnesty can and cannot campaign against.
www.amnesty.org/aboutai/statute.htm
- The Mandate - More on Amnesty's Silence - Intended for use by anyone who wishes to lobby AI at the level of individual, local group, regional group, country or International. It deals with AI's mandate, and how it could easily cover the sanctions issue if the International Secretariat wished it.
