Hurray!
Possibly adding: The Cases
The Nixon's Administration's efforts to subvert a political opponent outside government offices, implying uses of government resources, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixon_Administration#Watergate .
The Bay of Pigs in violating World Democratic conventions of warfare, please see, Vienna Conventions/other intern. conventions for this. Bay of Pigs, CIA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bay_of_Pigs_Invasion .
Again, breaches against World Democracies and own national democracies can be seen as equally relevant under the article header, also under Corwin Agreement (by World states) as re-introduction to the World, recently... (Obviously, this supports the view that no crimes are less State Crimes abroad.)

Another: The Dutch has recently admitted blame to crimes committed in Indonesia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rawagede_massacre ?

Additional Comment to Amnesty at 50 (Years Old)
On [url: http://www.amnesty.org/en/50/timeline] Amn. Int. holds that: "Who we are"
"Amnesty International’s 3 million members believe that human rights abuses anywhere are the concern of people everywhere.
Until every person can enjoy all of their rights, our candle of hope will burn. It will burn until everyone can live in dignity; until every person’s voice can be heard; until no one is tortured or executed."
My opinion: This is my (ethical/legal) view too, except that I stand by the capital punishment (by anasthetics and guillotine, only or not) for the most detached and immoral idiots _taken_! Torture, as it says, is a fundamental problem whenever and every time it happens, whether this is a hidden fact from us or not! Every instance is a fundamental problem! Execution can also be interpreted this way: political prisoners are being executed on (usually, by commonsense and civilised laws) flawed grounds! That is, people are being executed beyond the usual foundations for legal grounding. This is a fundamental problem too, but far milder (at least by shooting/decapitation) than torture and is probably more self-harm in removing the good leaders for the future, I suspect. So in this instance too, execution is indeed an awful problem!
(The French may get offended by "anasthetics and guillotine, only or not", but they have perhaps lost innocence and virginity by now...?
The above by the (headless killings of the French revolution that took its own course back then... (Also: sorry for the painful emotions if any.))
It's fairly remarkable that Amnesty seem so forgiving to criminals _who would otherwise receive the death penalty_ when THEY KNOW about the status of the legal systems in Europe today and how difficult it all is, with various threats of REAL torture and blocked suicide routes only to ensure torture. Not only this, but they seem to count the disappearances/suicides/forged suicided/covered murders (in Europe) lightly well knowing of the grotesque facts we live under today, including the human meatshops of human flesh. So to what lengths can we continue to tolerate when Amn. Int. seem to reject torture so completely and blatantly?! When are they EVER going to take the full moral responsibility for those who are silently and in hidden TORTURED in Europe today? Let's not also forget the technological possibilities... (incl. piezo-RFIDs)!
Here I sit myself without _lawyer_ and without _a possibility to fair trial_ and possibly/likely 15 violations of 30 the my Human Rights by UN _only to make the case for state approved_ torture of myself AGAINST THE JUSTICE department of Norway, also including medical personnel... So why should I SHUT UP??? [You know, what happens when you turn to the Police like I've done lately for threats??? Yes, they send you straight to psychiatry for degradation and insults to your intelligence (probably ONLY on grounds of your personal moral standing, that you can _add_ to human progress and (moral) development!!!]

Suggestions for Improvement of Amnesty International
I also cite ""glory" to Amnesty International on giving voice to Poverty in Guatemala and Pollution in Nigeria although ILO and Greenpeace could have been with us on these two! I also note, as a small remark that the two "cases haven't been brought to the Courts!"
I could have made a list like this, please, improve on these points if they are not already in place.
They concern policies regarding drugs and drug-addicts. The list includes support for public injection rooms and the, of course, right to housing and so on... Usually not considered the most important, but this point has been added for more than one reason, both of them in a sense GOOD!
(This is also notified in my "Objection to Rawls" on the basis of the "politicised" situation of poor people edging to being criminalised people by the State, incredible enough, for Heaven's sake! But so and so... triumphing point: YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND!)
This is in line with the call for Amnesty International to return to the courts and more traditional approaches to legal work. So if we/they are to approach poverty in Guatemala again we/they contact International Labour Organisation and make campaigning alongside them for Guatemalans to get organised under ILO and at the same time, enable the opposition, the employers to get organised, thus establishing traditional two-party negotiations, in fact, founding the society as such on a "capitalistic"/mixed economy note on how fast they can or will develop and how much "blood" they are to pay for it, that is, are forced by "Western Standards" to sell themselves cheaply or can we/they alter these relations of business/power to something better!
I know this suggestion (with ILO) breaks with US American traditions of non-organisation union-wise, but I think they can sit on their stubbornness and sob in their overweight while the World progresses! I see no other alternative to organisation and paranoia really needs to be laid aside to the advantage of better personal preparedness and so on...
I can make one on pollution in Nigeria as well, mentioning engineering groups (IEEE, JPEG), environmental group of the sane kind, not some hysteria, and lastly some respects to the country's poverty, giving the oil-industry an environment certification of its own department, if the engineering group fails to come up with an internationally recognised standard of the affordable kind, perhaps in a kind of two-tier, developed and developing run/progress (of society and industry)!
