Our important decisions comes from consultations with the board of directors representing Amnesty nationwide in order to ensure that our work truly reflects opinions of human rights advocates in Thailand.

 

Human rights are universal. Regardless of where you come from, race, religion or gender, human rights are yours, and no one can take away your rights. If you are the one who share our belief, please support our works from today.

Article 4 of Amnesty International’s (AI) statute requires that “there will be at all times for Amnesty International strategic goals to guide the movement”. Furthermore, Article 13 states that “sections shall act in accordance with the core values and methods of Amnesty International and shall comply with the Core Standards as well as any strategic goals”.

The Global Strategic Framework (2022-2030) are the agreed priorities that guide Amnesty’s work for the period 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2030 – the changes that as a movement Amnesty wants to contribute to. The full strategic framework can be found here in English, French, and Spanish.

The Global Strategic Framework was proposed by the International Board and following a thorough consultation process, approved by the Global Assembly.  The Global Assembly is the governance body with ultimate authority for determining Amnesty International’s strategic goals including its financial strategy 

OUR HUMAN RIGHTS PRIORITIES

In a world of uncertainty with an unfolding climate crisis, and the expanded deployment of digital technologies and artificial intelligence amplifying inequality and injustice, Amnesty International will stand our as a broad-based global movement of local relevance. Working in solidarity with individuals and movements claiming their human rights work, we will successfully influence powerful state and non-state actors to recognize and uphold human rights.

To these ends, Amnesty will invest a significant proportion of its resources and campaigning force towards two priority issues.

Priority 1 – Freedom of expression and civic space

1.1 – Strengthening freedom of expression and association

1.2 – Securing the right to peaceful assembly for all

Priority 2 – Equality and non-discrimination

2.1 – Promoting gender, racial and intersectional justice

2.2 – Strengthening enjoyment of rights to health, housing and social security

2.3 – Securing climate justice

2.4 – protecting the rights of refugees and migrants and the rights of people on the frontlines of crises

Flexible areas of work

In addition to work on Global Priorities 1 and 2, Amnesty International entities may dedicate up to 20% of its resource to work on Flexible Areas of Work – human rights issues chosen in response to other pressing local human rights concerns, for example ending the death penalty, access to justice and redress, and preventing human rights abuse within the criminal justice system. 

COMMON LENSES

In all the work that we do, whether under the Global Priorities or flexible areas of work, Amnesty will analyse, plan and evaluate our human rights work through the following common lenses: 

• Individuals and communities at risk – Working with and for individuals and communities at direct risk of human rights violations.
• Intersectionality, gender-mainstreaming and anti-racism – Focus strongly on people subjected to structural discrimination on multiple and intersecting grounds, including, among others, the grounds of gender identity, race, ethnicity, class and other forms of social origin, caste, First Nations/Indigenous identity and sexual orientation.  Analyse the human rights implications of discrimination and clearly incorporate the findings into documentation, recommendations and campaign demands. 
• Corporate accountability, including for the technology sectors – Analyse the roles of corporate actors and, on that basis, work to ensure states legislate mandatory human rights due diligence requirements for corporations, hold them accountable for their part in human rights abuses, and provide remedy to their victims.
