Summary: When it comes to human rights advocacy and activism around the world, Amnesty International has been both very successful and extremely well known since its inception 50 years ago. Though most of us are aware of Amnesty International, we may still wish to know a little more about them, their activities around the world and, from my perspective, their relationship with organisations such as the Australian Human Rights Commission. In this instalment of Podrights, Disability Discrimination Commissioner, Graeme Innes, is joined by Amnesty International’s National Director for Australia, Claire Mallinson, who talks about these issues, the evolution of Amnesty to the global organisation it is today, its focus in Australia and its plans for the future.
