(Cambodia 1992)
Land mines are an
invisible enemy,
forgotten in the earth.
Mines continue to take
the lives of a high
number of innocent
victims, mostly farmers,
even many years after
the battles have ended.

(Sikkim 1992)
In most areas of
Sikkim and other
nations of the
Himalayas, no flowing
water is available.
Water must be carried
to individual homes,
often from great
distances.

Amnesty International
Thousands of people are in prison because of their beliefs. Many are held without
charge or trial. These abuses - taking place in countries of widely differing ideologies -
demand an international response. The protection of human rights is an international
responsibility, transcending the boundaries of nations and ideologies. This is the
fundamental belief upon which the work of Amnesty International, an independent worldwide
voluntary movement, is based.
