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.)
Ruling sentinel body, International Criminal Court, ICCt, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Criminal_Court. Good?
Another: The Dutch has recently admitted blame to crimes committed in Indonesia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rawagede_massacre ?
Another: The French in Algeria during 1954–62, links:

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)!
