HUMAN RIGHTS IN CHANGING TIMES
Financial crisis, emerging global powers and an upcoming general election in the UK. These are just some of the factors that will have an impact on human rights campaigning around the world.
What do these changes mean for Amnesty? Will they affect the way we campaign? What will our main priorities be over the coming years? This year's National Conference will address some of these questions and look back at the progress that we have made over the last five years.
