Amnesty International
Throughout 2008, the Bank will be campaigning in partnership with Amnesty International through our Customers Who Care campaign.
Amnesty International is a movement of ordinary people standing up for humanity and human rights. Our purpose is to protect individuals wherever justice, fairness, freedom and truth are denied.
Amnesty International was founded on the belief in the power of ordinary people to make extraordinary change. Since 1961, it has grown to become the largest and most trusted human rights organisation in the world and people who have suffered human rights abuses often say that international pressure secured their freedom and saved their lives.
Kate Allen, Amnesty International Director, recently said, “Every human has rights. That is the essence of our humanity. It places on each us the duty to stand up, not just for our own rights but also for those of others. That is the spirit of international solidarity. That is the true meaning of universal, indivisible human rights.”
