The truth about Amnesty International

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 most recent commentary on the russian invasion of Ukraine shifts the blame away from the aggressor and puts the responsibility for civilian casualties on the Ukrainian military.

This is an egregious case of victim blaming and shows that Amnesty International is 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.
