Amnesty International is

States that Amnesty International is an NGO that campaigns for the protection of human rights worldwide and focuses on research and advocacy (reports on government misconduct).

A student could infer that Amnesty's primary role is advocacy and human-rights monitoring rather than direct refugee relief, so they should check whether refugee assistance is a main operational focus.

Describes Human Rights Watch as an international NGO engaged in research and advocacy on human rights and building coalitions rather than delivering direct humanitarian refugee services.

Use this as a pattern that major human-rights NGOs typically emphasize advocacy; compare Amnesty's activities to humanitarian agencies (e.g., UNHCR) to judge whether refugee relief is primary.

Shows a strong correlation between internal armed conflict (civil wars) and refugee flows, establishing that civil wars commonly produce refugees.

Combine this with knowledge of which organisations focus on refugees (e.g., UNHCR) to assess whether Amnesty would logically have a primary mission of helping such refugees.

Explains that the UN has appointed a High Commissioner for Refugees to try to help displaced people, implying there is a specialized agency for refugees.

A student could contrast the existence of a dedicated refugee agency with Amnesty's stated human-rights advocacy role to evaluate whether refugee assistance is Amnesty's main mission.

Gives examples of people displaced by war or famine (Darfur, Palestinians, Burmese), illustrating the kinds of refugee crises that arise from conflict.

Use these examples to check which organisations are most active on-the-ground in those crises (human-rights advocacy groups versus humanitarian relief agencies) to infer Amnesty's likely primary activities.

Defines Amnesty International as an NGO that campaigns for protection of human rights worldwide and publishes reports on government misconduct — indicating a human-rights advocacy mandate rather than a poverty-relief mandate.

A student could contrast this stated mission with organizations explicitly founded to reduce poverty (using their mission statements or activities) to judge whether Amnesty's primary purpose is poverty alleviation.

Describes Human Rights Watch as an international NGO focused on research and advocacy on human rights — providing an example of human-rights NGOs whose primary goals are advocacy, not direct poverty aid.

Use this pattern (human-rights NGOs focus on rights/advocacy) to infer that Amnesty, as another human-rights NGO, likely shares a similar non-poverty-centric purpose.

Explains that the International Development Association (IDA) was established specifically to help the world's poorest countries with interest-free loans and grants — an example of an institution explicitly created for poverty reduction.

Compare the explicit poverty-reduction mandate of IDA with Amnesty's human-rights mandate to assess which organisation types are 'primarily established' to help very poor people.

Provides the World Bank's definition of extreme poverty (less than $2.15 per day) — giving a concrete measure for ‘very poor people’ that can be used to test claims about whom an organisation serves.

A student could check Amnesty's reports/activities against this poverty threshold or poverty-targeted programs to see if Amnesty’s work is directed primarily at people below that line.

Explicitly labels Amnesty International as an NGO that campaigns globally for human rights, implying it is not an inter-governmental body.

A student can use the NGO vs inter-governmental distinction to infer Amnesty likely lacks formal state membership/sovereign-state governance that characterises inter-governmental agencies.

Lists Amnesty International among nongovernmental organisations, separately from international organisations like the UN and WHO.

A student can extend this categorical separation to test the statement by checking whether inter-governmental agencies are listed with UN/WHO rather than with NGOs.

Provides examples of agencies (WHO, UNDP, UNICEF, UNESCO) that handle social and economic issues — these are UN/specialised, i.e., inter-governmental bodies.

Compare Amnesty's classification (NGO) with the listed inter-governmental UN agencies to judge whether Amnesty fits the inter-governmental pattern.

Describes the UNO and its specialised agencies as distinct international/intergovernmental organs with member states and formal structure.

A student can check whether Amnesty has similar member-state governance or formal UN-style organs; lacking those would argue against it being inter-governmental.

Mentions that certain global NGOs are associated with treaties as International Organization Partners (IOPs), indicating NGOs can engage with inter-governmental treaties while remaining non-state actors.

Use this to reason that NGO involvement with governments/treaties does not make an NGO itself an inter-governmental agency.

Defines Amnesty International as an NGO focused on campaigning for and reporting on human rights worldwide, not describing medical relief work.

A student could contrast this mission with known mandates of medical relief organisations to judge whether Amnesty is likely to provide medical emergency care.

Lists Amnesty International among NGOs alongside the Red Cross, implicitly grouping different NGOs under cooperative security but not equating their functions.

A student could note that Red Cross is widely known for medical/emergency aid whereas Amnesty is listed separately, suggesting differing roles to investigate further.

Identifies specialised agencies (e.g., WHO, UNHCR) that deal with health and refugees, indicating that medical emergencies are often the remit of specific organisations.

A student could use this pattern—medical emergencies handled by WHO/Red Cross/UN agencies—to test whether Amnesty fits that specialised category.

States a right to emergency medical treatment, highlighting that emergency medical response is a recognized public/health function distinct from human-rights advocacy.

A student might infer that organisations primarily advocating human rights (like Amnesty per snippet 1) are separate from those operationally providing emergency medical services.

Notes that some international institutions (e.g., IBRD) have specific mandates such as reconstruction of war-ravaged countries, illustrating that agencies have distinct, targeted roles.

A student could apply this general rule—organisations usually have specific mandates—to question whether Amnesty's mandate (human rights) aligns with medical emergency response.
