People will tell you, "no, that does not matter." what matters is impartiality. what matters is the capacity of amnesty international to stand firm and to denounce violations by whoever they are done and wherever they are happening. our landscape is the world. it is not the uk policy, it is not the us policy, and it is not even the ukrainian policy. it is the ukrainian people. this is why i have repeated that, yes, we made mistakes with this report, but we are also moving strongly into wanting t...

Welcome to hardtalk. thank you for having me. im sure you would agree that amnesty�*s international reputation depends upon impartiality, independence, the rigour of your research. mm—hm. how do you think amnesty�*s reputation stands across the world right now? look, based on the various travels i am doing in africa, latin america, asia, our reputation stands very high and firm. people from very remote areas, all the way to political leaders know that they can count on us if its needed. i ...

People, and we need to support the people in the drc that are largely neglected by our western leaders and by the western media. we need to support the people in peru who are being killed by their governments, all the people of colombia whose lands are being taken away by armed groups. that is the world. just one more question on impartiality. in terms of a different part of the world and a different conflict. is it representative of your impartiality to consistently call israel an apartheid sta...
