an agency of the United Nations to help refugees of civil wars
B
a global Human Rights Movement
C
a non-governmental voluntary organization to help very poor people
D
an inter-governmental agency to cater to medical emergencies in war-ravaged regions
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
1. Amnesty International is a well-known non-governmental organization (NGO) with headquarters in the United Kingdom.
2. Its stated mission is to campaign for "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 standards."
3. Therefore, it is best described as a global Human Rights Movement. Hence, option (B) is correct.
4. Option (A) is incorrect; it is not an agency of the United Nations. UNHCR is the UN agency focused on refugees.
5. Option (C) is incorrect; while it is a non-governmental voluntary organization, its core focus is human rights protection, not specifically helping the very poor people in general.
6. Option (D) is incorrect; it is not an inter-governmental agency, and its primary mandate is not medical emergencies, although it documents abuses in conflict regions.
