What is the function of Amnesty International?

Protection of Human Rights

The correct answer is option (1) - Protection of Human Rights

Amnesty International was founded in London, United Kingdom, in 1961. It was established by British lawyer Peter Benenson after he read an article about two Portuguese students who were imprisoned for raising a toast to freedom.  It is an NGO that campaigns for the protection of human rights all over the world.  It promotes respect for all the human rights in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It believes that human rights are interdependent and indivisible. It prepares and publishes reports on human rights. Governments are not always happy with these reports since a major focus of Amnesty is the misconduct of government authorities.
