Nonprofit human rights education programs include police training, school talks and workshops, exhibitions and the annual Human Rights Press Awards for journalists. By undertaking research, action and education, AI works to promote human rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international human rights standards. AI sends researchers around the globe to document cases of human rights violations. Findings and observations are published to the international community and the international movement is mobilized to exert pressure on the violators so as to curb further abuses. On policy level, AI lobbies governments in around the world to implement laws and policies which better defend the fundamental freedom and rights of the people.
