International Issues News
International Issues News aims to provide members with information on Amnesty's international dimensions. It comprises concise summaries of longer documents hoping to engage members worldwide with emerging campaigning, strategic and policy issues.
The original documents are available by contacting Activism Team at activism@amnesty.org.uk
Initiated some years back, the present editorial team comprises Amnesty activists from the UK, USA, France and Spain. The original intention remains the same: to make these issues digestible and accessible to Amnesty members worldwide.
