Amnesty International
Ownership type Non-Profit, NGO
Founded July 1961, by Peter Benenson in the UK
Headquarters , Global, General secretariat in London


Amnesty International is a worldwide movement of people who campaign for internationally recognized human rights for all. We have more than 2.2 million members and subscribers in more than 150 countries and regions and we coordinate this support to act for justice on a wide range of issues.

The following list of sections should serve as a loose guideline for developing the body of your article. The works cited in references 2-5 are all fake; their purpose is to serve as a formatting model for your own citations.

History

This section should describe the interest group's founding and development. It would probably be a good idea to divide it into chronological subsections, for example:

Founding

This subsection should provide some historical context for the founding of your group, explain the motivations behind it, and describe the steps taken and challenges faced by its founders to get the ball rolling.[1]

Current objectives and activities

This section should discuss the group's current initiatives and tactics for influencing political outcomes (which may or may not be very different from its original goals and modus operandi).[2]

Organizational structure

This section should describe the group's organizational structure, including its principal leadership positions and their current incumbents.[3]

Achievements

This section should recount the group's major achievements, including but not limited to legislative and/or legal victories.[4]

Public perception and controversies

In developing this final section, be especially careful about maintaining a neutral stance and tone. Your aim should be to document the public's perception of your group and/or any controversies in which it is or has been embroiled without weighing in with your own opinion about them.
