Your support will help us to address the biggest challenges in the world today – inequality on the rise, ongoing crises and conflicts, those in power clamping down on people’s freedoms and more people than ever before fleeing their homes and seeking safety elsewhere.

So on behalf of everyone whose life has been changed forever, thank you for your continued support.

Thank you again for supporting us. You make Amnesty International better – together, we’re a powerful, committed global movement.

Unfortunately, Amnesty International does not have the resources to open national offices on demand. The organisation decides upon where to develop its presence based on the priorities of the movement and on the context in which offices could operate (legal permissions etc.). Even though the organisation is not currently in a position to open an office in every country, the regional team based at the International Secretariat in London undertakes work on a number of human rights issues there. You can find out more about this work by visiting the country page on our website: https://www.amnesty.org/en/countries/ and selecting your country.

For more information, please visit our website at www.amnesty.org.

To report a human rights violation, please write to us directly by filling out the form.

Thank you very much for your interest in Amnesty International’s activity.

Unfortunately, due to the enormous amount of enquiries we receive, we are unable to answer individual questions in detail. However many students find our website an incredibly useful resource for your research. You can get an overview of all the different type of human rights work we cover in the What We Do section. You can also browse our research and campaigning work by Country. Each country page contains all the latest news, blogs, and reports.

Thank you again for your interest.

Thank you for your interest in Amnesty International. Unfortunately due to limited resources, we do not provide any assistance in securing a visa. We wish you luck in your travels.

Thank you for your interest in collaborating with Amnesty International. We appreciate your commitment to AI values and congratulate you on the important work you are doing.

Unfortunately, due to limited human and financial resources, we are not able to offer support or accreditation to external organisations. It is not possible for us to ensure that all potential partner organisations adhere strictly and completely to our own mission and values.

With its open learning platform, the Amnesty Human Rights Academy is a self-guided learning space where you can gain skills and knowledge in human rights wherever you are. It is aimed at learners interested in action-oriented human rights education, as well as promoting and advocating human rights. Our courses cover a range of human rights topics, from foundation courses to advanced ones. You can also obtain a certificate at the end of certain learning courses. All courses are geared towards taking human rights action.

To get started, all you need to do is register on the platform, select a suitable course, start your self-guided learning and come back to complete it whenever you have the time. The Academy offers courses in many languages, including Arabic, English, Spanish, French and Russian.

To register for the Amnesty Human Rights Academy, go to the Academy and follow these steps:

Step 1: Make sure you choose the language in which you want to take courses. Please note that you can change the language in your profile later if you want to explore the programs available in other languages.

Step 2: Press the “register” button in the top right corner of the screen.

Step 3: You will be shown a new window that allows you to register on the platform. Enter all information required to register and click on the Privacy Policy box (you can read the Privacy Policy by clicking on the phrase) and click the “Next” button.

Step 4: Another window will open. Fill in the missing information. Once you have finished, click the “register” button.

Step 5: A message will be sent to your email address enabling you to activate your account. To complete your registration, check your email for the message titled “Finish setting up your Amnesty Academy account” and click on the account confirmation link, which will be valid for 48 hours.

Please note: your username is the email address you have registered with.

Please note that not all courses grant certificates, particularly very short courses such as “Defending Human Rights”. You can find out if a course provides a certificate on the Course Details page.

The Amnesty Human Rights Academy offers two types of certificates: a Certificate of Participation and a Certificate of Excellence. A Certificate of Participation is awarded upon successful completion of all courses involving graded exercises or coursework. A Certificate of Excellence is awarded upon successful completion of courses involving a more comprehensive assessment process.

Once you have completed a course that offers a certificate of participation with a passing grade of at least 50%, the certificate will be automatically available to download. You will not be required to take any addition steps to receive the certificate. Should you wish to download the certificate for your own records, please go to “Download a Copy of a Certificate” in the “Course Information” section. Alternatively, go to the Menu on the top left side of the screen and click on “My Activities”. Go to “Courses” where you will be able to see your course progress and all available certificates.

Please note that you will need to use a web browser to download the certificate as the mobile application currently does not support that function.
