How do organisations like Amnesty International try to protect human rights?

Answer 1

the fundamental aim of Amnesty International is to try to ensure that all people in the world enjoy all of the rights stated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Members of the organisation believe that there are fundamental rights that should be enjoyed by all people irrespective of their race, colour, gender or religion. Consequently, Amnesty International takes up cases of discrimination that other organisations cannot. The United Nations Commission on Human Rights tries to persuade governments to control abuses but usually has to work through diplomatic channels. Because it is a pressure groups with no allegiance to any governmental or official organisation, Amnesty International can work in much more direct ways. Therefore, it uses the press, television and any available means to publicise abuses and to try to shame governments into changing their policies.

Answer 2

Organizations like Amnesty International protect human rights through various strategies. They conduct research and publish reports on human rights abuses, advocate for change by putting pressure on governments and other entities, mobilize public support through campaigns and petitions, provide support and resources to individuals at risk, and engage in litigation to hold human rights violators accountable. They also work to raise awareness and educate the public about human rights issues to promote a culture of respect and accountability.
