内容节选原创翻译如下：
Amnesty International (commonly known as Amnesty or AI) is an international non-governmental organization which defines its mission as "to undertake research and action focused on preventing and ending abuses of the rights to physical and mental integrity, freedom of conscience and expression, and freedom from discrimination, within the context of its work to promote all human rights." Founded in the UK in 1961, AI draws its attention to human rights abuses and campaigns for compliance with international standards. It works to mobilize public opinion which exerts pressure on individuals who perpetrate abuses. The organization was awarded the 1977 Nobel Peace Prize for its "campaign against torture" and the UN Human Rights Prize in 1978, but has received criticism for both alleged anti-Western and alleged pro-Western bias.
大赦国际（通常称作大赦或AI）是一个国际非政府组织，它把自己的使命定义为“着眼于防止和结束对人权的滥用而从事科研工作和采取行动，保护肉体和精神的完整性，良心和情感表达的自由权利，反对歧视，在它的工作范围内促进各种人权”。在1961年成立于伦敦的大赦国际，将它的关注点放在滥用人权上，为履行国际间准则发起各种运动。它致力于动员公众舆论对实施滥用人权的个体施加压力。该组织于1977年因它“发起的反对酷刑运动”而获得诺贝尔和平奖，以及1978年的联合国人权奖，不过它也受到了存在据称的反西方和亲西方偏见的批评指责。

运作
There are five key areas which Amnesty deals with: Women's Rights, Children's Rights, Ending Torture and Execution, Rights of Refugees and Rights of Prisoners of Conscience. Some specific aims are to abolish the death penalty, end extrajudicial executions and "disappearances", ensure prison conditions meet international human rights standards, ensure prompt and fair trial for all political prisoners, ensure free education to all children worldwide, fight impunity from systems of justice, end the recruitment and use of child soldiers, free all prisoners of conscience, promote economic, social and cultural rights for marginalized communities, protect human rights defenders, promote religious tolerance, stop torture and ill-treatment, stop unlawful killings in armed conflict, and to uphold the rights of refugees, migrants and asylum seekers. This organization helps women all around the world.
大赦涉及的有五个主要领域：妇女权益，儿童权利，终止酷刑和死刑，难民权利和政治犯权利。一些特别的关注点有废除死刑，结束法外处决和“失踪”，确保监狱的条件符合国际人权标准，确保对政治犯进行及时公正的审判，确保全世界范围内对儿童教育的免费，阻止司法系统内的不受惩罚，结束招募和使用儿童士兵，释放所有的政治犯，促进边缘化社区的经济、社会和文化权利，保护人权辩护律师，促进宗教宽容，停止酷刑和虐待，停止在武装冲突中非法杀戮，以及为难民、移民和政治避难者提供支持。这个组织帮助全世界的妇女。
Amnesty International targets not only governments, but also non governmental bodies and private individuals (non state actors).
大赦国际不仅仅针对政府，也将非政府机构和私人个体（非国家行为者）作为目标。
To further these aims, Amnesty International has developed several techniques to publicize information and mobilize public opinion. The organization considers as one of its strengths the publication of impartial and accurate reports. Reports are researched by interviewing victims and officials, observing trials, working with local human rights activists and by monitoring the media. It aims to issue timely press releases and publishes information in newsletters and on web sites. It also sends official missions to countries to make courteous but insistent inquiries.
为了实现上述目标，大赦国际已经发展出一些公开信息和动员公众舆论的技巧。该组织将出版公正和准确的报告作为它的强项之一。这些报告通过会见受害者和官员，关注审判，和当地人权活动积极分子合作，以及监督媒体来进行调查。它的目标在于发行及时新闻稿和通过时事通讯和网站发布信息。它也派出正式使团前往一些国家进行有节但坚决的质询。
Campaigns to mobilize public opinion can take the form of individual, country or thematic campaigns. Many techniques are deployed such as direct appeals (for example, letter writing), media and publicity work and public demonstrations. Often fund-raising is integrated with campaigning.
动员公众舆论的活动包括采用个别的、国家的或是主题的运动方式。施展的许多技巧包括呼吁（例如：写信），媒体和宣传活动以及公开演示等。通常募集资金也整合在运动中。
In situations which require immediate attention, Amnesty International calls on existing urgent action networks or crisis response networks; for all other matters, it calls on its membership. It considers the large size of its human resources to be another one of its key strengths.
在一些需要立刻给予关注的情况下，大赦国际号召现有的紧急行动网络或是危机应对网络；在其他情况下，它召集它的会员参与。它的广大人力资源被认为是它的另一个强项。
