The Multinational Interest Group: Amnesty International USA

Imagine for a moment what it would be like if the entire population of Sonoma County, California was killed, and twenty years later not many people knew a great deal about it. When over 500,000 people, primarily Tutsis, were killed in the Rwandan genocide in 1994, it was a great tragedy. However, no one rushed to the country’s aid. Now it is vital that the horrors of the instance that violated the human rights of so many, is not forgotten. Human rights are the universal actions and objects that all people are entitled to because they are human. Human rights have been violated in numerous ways over time, typically as a result of a person in power having their own best interests in mind rather than the peoples´. Various groups, such as Amnesty

The American Bar Association (ABA), Human rights first, and Amnesty International, are three executive agencies that have helped greatly to advance human rights. I believe that these three agencies have sufficiently proven themselves worthy with ample accomplishments that support your allocating funding for them to continue helping the goal of human rights around the world.

Amnesty International has created a “Fair Trial Manual” that guides lawyers, judges, and individual who represent themselves to help conduct a fair trial, according to international human right laws (What We Do: Torture). Regarding torture, the organization makes it clear that anyone that it in imprisoned is in risk of getting tortured. The biggest issue is the lack of accountability to the tortures that happen. Many governments deny their existence, mostly because they are involved, and the torturers are involved with conducting the inquiries. There are also some countries who do not value the importance of basic human rights and that is where Amnesty International steps in. The organization ensures that the tortured have doctors ready to examine, lawyers present during interrogations, and that the detainees are able to contact their families. The organization also has very strong stance against the death penalty. They believe that the death penalty is wrong, no matter what the circumstances may

The Advocates for Human rights’ reputation as a prominent champion for global human rights remains unmatched. Established as an independent non-profit organization, the Advocates for Human rights aims at implementing all-inclusive change through comprehensive strategies.

In general, a lobbyist group is a sort of effective network system that consists from paid professionals and also volunteers, with efforts in persuasion the legislators to produce and support policies that the lobbyist groups interested. All American institutions can be represented by a lobbyist, such as Pharmaceuticals, insurance, air transport, health professionals, and others. To reach the goals of the interest group and lobbyist in persuasion in reforming policies, billions of dollars need to be spent by them. According to the Lobbying Disclosure Act, the money that paid for lobbying needs to be registered with the Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk of the House. Health care lobbying is one of the big lobbyists in the United States,

Link between Atwood’s as an advocate for Amnesty International with Offred’s need to “Speak” her own point of view about and within a society that demands silence and conformity. (Notice that the account is retrospective, recordings found on an archaeological site). Storytelling is the only possible gesture against the silences of death and history.

As the Co-Secretary of GOHS Amnesty International, my main responsibilities were to track attendance of club members, keep record of meeting agendas, advertise, present Amnesty International cases, and help in leading club discussions. I believe that I was able to motivate others as Co-Secretary as I helped lead club discussions and presented cases from Amnesty International. Through these two responsibilities, I was able to expose students to how in our world, there are still thousands of victims of human rights abuses. Through discussions and presentations, the members of GOHS Amnesty International expanded their knowledge on the modern-day battle for fundamental human rights all over the world.

In essence, from this perspective the charity organization “Human Rights First” focuses on this ideology of core freedoms. Human Rights First challenges America to live up to its ideals of dignity and respect for all human rights; “When they fail, we step in to demand reform, accountability, and justice.” With this intention, this is when Human Rights First comes into picture with principle and belief protection of civil right of such as immigrant’s.

Can the Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law Help Lead a Path for Immigrants to Become Active Citizens?

The International Criminal Court also known as the (ICC) are a group of judges who investigates and prosecutes individuals that are guilty of crimes such as genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity and only intervenes when a state cannot intervene or is unwilling to intervene or is an international concern (Understanding the International Criminal Court). Many inhumane corruptions were committed in the past such as the Holocaust and many individual have gone unpunished for it. Due to this the United Nation General Assembly was determined to have a court were individuals who commit such cruel crimes will be held accountable and will be punished for it. An

The migration crisis has reached a level where Europe must take a stand and must present a viable plan, expressing the future goals the European government believes will help solves this crisis. The International Organization for Migration said, between January and November 2015 more than 750,000 migrants are predicted to arrive in Europe from across the Mediterranean. As a union, Europe is showing the world that they are not a cohesive organization prepared to face the future with respects to the mass migration. The policy concerning migration at the European Union level states that each nation has the right to their own migration policies, while adhering to the European migration institutions, which are not fully established. So far, many of the migrants coming to Europe are settling in Italy and Greece; many hope to be able to reach Germany as their final destination.

Interest groups are a group of people who try to persuade the government to listen to their opinions. People form interest groups’ to make the government or businesses understand that they would like to share the changes that they would want to be made. Interest groups usually need to be a lot of people so that their voice can actually be heard. If there are very few people in interest groups, their opinions will more than likely be ignored. There are three types of interest groups which are; economic, public, ideological, and foreign policy. These interest groups can use direct or indirect strategies. Direct strategies are interest groups being straightforward with the policy makers about their shared issues. Indirect strategies usually try to get the policy makers and also the public more involved with their issue. Depending on the accuracy

International organizations create agreements by considering all member states and giving each member state a voice. Constitutional order has three main parts: it has to be binding, it has to be a shared agreement, and there are constrains on every member. Contemporary international organizations reflect a constitutional order because the agreements they make are mutual and followed by all members.

In the pursuit of positive peace for the global community, certain mechanisms are necessary in order to better protect human rights and resolve interstate conflicts. Prior to the events of World War II, a cogent set of laws defining those human rights, much less violations therein were never heard at an international scale. The International Criminal Court has the role as both appellate for justice and voice for peace in the international community but has not yet resolve the contradictory ends of both roles. That contradictory end is that many countries proclaim the necessity of the International Criminal Court as an advocate for conflict resolution and peace advocacy while being resist or outright antagonistic towards the court when their own state has committed those same crimes. To the ends of defending basic universal rights, the International Criminal Court (hereafter ICC) serves that capacity when state level systems cannot or will not act accordingly.
