Our visionĪmnesty International Japan envisions a world in which every person enjoys all of the human rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and lives like a human being. This policy is designed to ensure that we keep ourselves politically neutral in activities that AI sections take and that all people in the movement are safe and secure.ĪI Japan therefore may not engage in all issues taking place in Japan but always endeavors to grip the issues of human right abuses in Japan and to share them with the rest of the Amnesty International members to help them take actions on those issues. We encourage the Japanese government to introduce the rules and systems to comply with and enforce the international rules of protecting human rights.Īmnesty International maintains a policy defining the boundaries of the work that AI members and staff can carry out in relation to human rights abuses in their own country (known as the ''Work on own country'' rule). Unfortunately Japan has yet to prepare the various laws and standards in accordance with the international human rights standards. At the same time we undertake activities to spread in Japan campaigns and actions that Amnesty International carries out in the world. Our activityĪI Japan provides people in Japan with press releases, appeal and others on human rights abuses issued by the International Section in London. AI Japan endeavors to inform people throughout Japan human rights abuses in the various parts of the world and also to report people both in Japan and overseas human rights conditions in Japan. More What is the Amnesty International Japan?Īmnesty international Japan (AI Japan) was founded in 1970 as one of the sections of the largest human rights non-governmental organization in the world. We are independent of any political ideology, economic interest or religion. We are funded by members and people like you. We are campaigning for a world where human rights are enjoyed by all.

Amnesty International is a global movement of more than 7 million people who take injustice personally.
