What is Amnesty International? Amnesty International is the world's largest human rights organization. Amnesty has created a world wide movement with a mission to prevent and stop grave violations of human rights, like the rights to physical and mental integrity, freedom on conscience and expression, and freedom from discrimination.
As it relates to the death penalty, amnesty is the term used for when a governor grants a reprieve from execution to a prisoner sentenced to death. In this case, amnesty is different from a pardon in that it doesn't exonerate the condemned from all punitive action or absolve the convicted of all wrongdoing.â.
