Amnesty International: The Struggle for Human Rights
Amnesty International (AI) is a worldwide movement of people acting on the convictions that governments must not deny individuals their basic human rights and that ordinary men and women can effectively pressure governments to live up to their commitments in human decency.
The organization was awarded the 1977 Nobel Peace Prize for its efforts to promote global observance of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. AI's effectiveness depends on its impartial application of a single standard of human rights to every country in the world.
The Fall 1997 issue of Human Rights Education: The Fourth R will focus on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, in anticipation of its 50th anniversary in 1998.
We welcome your ideas for articles; including reports on projects and campaigns, creative writing and artwork, print and electronic resources, and essays on the topic.Please send your submissions to us by September 1, 1997 at:
