Introduction from the Chair

3 CANDIDATE BRIEF SECRETARY GENERAL, AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL

AMNESTY.ORG

Dear Candidate, Thank you for your interest in the role of Secretary General of Amnesty International, a global movement of people working together for human rights from our kitchen tables to the streets, from classrooms to courtrooms, from crisis zones to the halls of power.

We are launching the search for our next Secretary General at a moment of immense challenges and incredible opportunities for our human rights mission.

The struggles that have engaged us for years, like repression, discrimination, and impunity, remain as pressing as ever. They have become more complicated and acute in a world increasingly shaped by climate change, rapid technological developments, the spread and consolidation of corporate power, emboldened political backlash against human rights, and now the unprecedented shock of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has laid bare so much of what is unjust and deadly about our societies and provides cover for authoritarian measures that may set dangerous new norms.

The force and promise of people power at this moment are vital. In my own community, recent days and weeks have seen low income tenants staging a rent strike for collective housing security; thousands of people in the streets demanding accountability for police violence against Black and Indigenous people; grassroots organizing for sex workers left out of official emergency income support measures; and outcry about our elders suffering and dying in institutional conditions that deny them basic dignities in the name of profit. With almost every walk around my neighbourhood I see new posters or graffiti calling for solidarity, justice, and rights.

Similar things are happening across the world. It feels like, whatever the struggle, there is a palpable sense that there is no “normal” to which we are willing to return – that things must, and can, change.

What a time for Amnesty International to act, to partner, to mobilize, to investigate, to challenge, to imagine, and to make change happen – and what a time to lead us in doing this.

ODGERSBERNDTSON.COM

We are looking for a leader who believes in Amnesty International’s mission, respects what we have achieved, is passionate about what we can do next, and is willing to challenge us to make it happen. We are looking for a leader who knows that being our Secretary General is one of the most important roles in the world for human rights, and who is up to the task.

We cannot promise that this job will be easy. It will demand humility, decisiveness, resilience, courage, patience, integrity, and insight. The travel, competing demands, complexities of a democratic global organization, and disturbing realities of the abuses we confront – all of these may be hard on your body, mind, and spirit. On top of the immense external challenges that we face together, we also have internal ones that will require your attention, care, and skill.

We have started the hard work of addressing them, and becoming a healthier, more impactful, equitable, accountable, and sustainable organization. There is much still to do, and we will welcome your leadership and ideas when you join us.

We can promise that this job will offer you a chance to make history, change the world, and be a part of things that will feel meaningful and satisfying for the rest of your life. We can promise that you will work alongside some of the most diverse, passionate, inspiring, and skilled colleagues and partners you may ever have, with access to all the tools that our unparalleled mix of research, campaigning, communications, advocacy, activism, education, fundraising, and lobbying functions have to offer. We can promise that the International Board will partner with you and support you to do your best. We can promise that we, and your future colleagues around the world, are very excited to welcome you to this role.

On behalf of the whole Amnesty International movement, I encourage you to apply, and look forward to meeting you.

Our vision, mission, and work

4 CANDIDATE BRIEF SECRETARY GENERAL, AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL

Amnesty International is a Nobel Peace Prize winning global human rights movement of more than 7 million people in over 100 countries and territories. Our vision is of a world in which every person enjoys all of the human rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international human rights instruments.

In pursuit of this vision, our mission is to undertake research and action focused on preventing and ending grave abuses of these rights.

For more than 55 years, we have shown that people united in common action can achieve extraordinary things. Together, we investigate, expose, and stand against injustice and repression in all parts of the world. We speak out for and with those whose freedom and dignity are threatened. We demand that governments, corporations, armed groups, and other powerful actors respect human rights, and seek to hold them accountable when they do not.

Our action is supported by high-quality research, evidence, and legal analysis, and grounded in our core principles of international solidarity, effective action for the individual victim, global coverage, the universality and indivisibility of human rights, impartiality and independence, and democracy and mutual respect.

We are independent of any government, ideology, economic interest, or religion. We are funded mainly by our membership and public donations.

Our strategy

9 CANDIDATE BRIEF SECRETARY GENERAL, AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL

AMNESTY.ORG

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL’S STRATEGY Our new Secretary General will join us at a pivotal moment in our strategic direction, helping us close off our current global strategic period (set to end in December 2021) and leading us into our next one (set to begin in January 2022). Our new Secretary General will also help us implement the latter part of our 2020-2021 COVID-19 response framework, and lead our ongoing thinking about how COVID-19 may challenge and shape our work in 2021 and beyond.

Our next global strategy is under development for the rest of 2020, and will be finalized and adopted by the Global Assembly in 2021. This means that our next Secretary General will have the benefit of coming into the role with a clear strategic direction from the movement, and the exciting opportunity to lead us in achieving it right from the start.

Ongoing movement and partner consultations have shown particular momentum around several directions for our next strategy, including: n Work on freedom of expression, association, and assembly – seeking to protect and expand the space for civic engagement online and offline.

ork on economic, social, and gender justice W – seeking to reduce inequalities and work with diverse communities to promote freedom, equality, and rights. n Work that engages technology, corporate power, and the climate crisis as key drivers of human rights violations. n

This range of work (complemented by a watching brief on our other traditional work and crisis response) would continue our work in areas where we are established leaders, and push us to build greater capacity in others.

As we develop and implement our next strategy, we will challenge ourselves to strengthen and reinvigorate the foundations of our work such as research, campaigning, and human rights education; to build bridges with and between diverse movements and communities; and to be more impactful in how we organize ourselves and use our resources.

10 CANDIDATE BRIEF SECRETARY GENERAL, AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL

THE NEED The scale of human rights crises in the world is increasing, and the COVID-19 pandemic will have a further direct impact on humanity across the globe. In ever more challenging conditions, Amnesty International continues to protest attacks on human rights defenders, challenge impunity for human rights violations, and push for everyone’s rights to be respected. Against a backdrop of global economic decline and geopolitical uncertainty, and when too many forces of power are failing to work together in principled leadership, Amnesty International is one of the few organizations with the diversity, independence, and legitimacy to act as the world’s conscience.

THE CAPABILITY We have the capabilities to fight the current attacks on human rights and justice in a serious and sustained manner. Amnesty International can combine the mobilization of millions of members and grassroots activists, powerful campaigning and education, media penetration, brand credibility, well-targeted strategic litigation, and lobbying at the highest levels. We also play a valuable role in connecting and supporting local movements, galvanising others to act and partnering with other organizations. We challenge large-scale human rights abuses and call for systemic change, and do so on the basis of the rights of the individual.

And we have nearly 60 years of success.

AMNESTY.ORG

THE INDEPENDENT GLOBAL PEOPLE’S MOVEMENT Amnesty International gives ordinary people ways to come together to challenge abuses of power and stand in solidarity with one another. We are a people’s movement for human rights and justice.

We are global and independent, both in terms of our funding and our decision-making. Where we have strong national entities, we also have significant influence at the national level. We have the incredible opportunity to inspire and mobilize millions of people to call for a world where everyone’s human rights are respected.

THE SATISFACTION This role will allow you to tackle some of the world’s most important challenges, working at the forefront of the justice and human rights arena alongside truly extraordinary people. This is a role where your leadership will have an impact and make a difference across the world.
