<aside> <img src="/icons/bookmark_gray.svg" alt="/icons/bookmark_gray.svg" width="40px" /> Although Amnesty International has a shorter history than the ICRC or even the UN, the organization has a track record mired in corruption, racism, antisemitism, arbitrary political bias, and toxic work culture.
Their commentary on the russian invasion of Ukraine shifted the blame away from the aggressor and put the responsibility for civilian casualties on the Ukrainian military.
This was an egregious case of victim blaming which showed that Amnesty International was not abiding by its core principle of independence from “any government, political ideology, economic interest or religion.”
However, it is unsurprising given the organization’s disgraceful history of scandals and controversies. So Amnesty International is only left with two options of either undergoing significant institutional changes or disbanding in shame.
On this page we present you with a list of articles and reports documenting Amnesty International’s history of failures, scandals, and corruption.
