Amnesty International UK carries out research, policy analysis and political engagement across a wide range of domestic and foreign policy areas. In this space you can find a number of materials relating to this work from policy briefings, to research reports, to submissions to governments and international bodies.

We work to develop support for human rights amongst Parliamentarians and decision makers across the devolved nations and to also hold them accountable when human rights obligations aren’t being met.

There is considerably more that people with political power in the UK can and should be doing, not only to prevent the regression of existing right protections, but to further promote them. Explore the resources we have created to try and make this happen.
