Amnesty International- University of Oregon Chapter
About
Amnesty Internationalʼs vision is a world in which every person enjoys all of the human rights enshrined
in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international human rights instruments. In
pursuit of this vision, Amnesty Internationalʼs mission is to undertake research and action focused on
preventing and ending grave abuses of these rights. Amnesty International is independent of any
political ideology, economic interest, or religion. The Amnesty International Chapter at the University of
Oregon, while continuing within the mission of Amnesty International, will work to engage students in
the University with global human rights issues. We will work to educate one another and the larger
community about various issues as they relate to human rights, and we will participate and engage in
activism to promote the protection and acquisition of rights, and to prevent further and continued
abuses of human rights.
