AI’s 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 standards.

In pursuit of this vision, AI’s mission is to undertake research and action focused on preventing and ending grave abuses of the rights to physical and mental integrity, freedom of conscience and expression, and freedom from discrimination, within the context of its work to promote all human rights.

Founded in 1989 by a group of prominent Israeli public figures, B'Tselem combines first-class research, innovative advocacy and public education strategies to effect change. B'Tselem has published over 125 reports on a wide range of human rights issues, produced video shorts, created a video archive and organized major public campaigns. The organization also serves as an important source of information for journalists, researchers and the diplomatic community at the national & international level. B'Tselem's activities receive extensive media coverage, generate public debate and encourage changes in official policy. B'Tselem is independent and is funded by contributions from foundations in Europe & North America that support human rights activity worldwide and also by private individuals in Israel and abroad.

We encourage a culture of human rights through four avenues:

• Music, art, performance, television and media for social change.
  
• Our interactive website, www.breakthrough.tv, which is an educational and entertaining forum packed with ideas for action.
  
• Public forums and workshops.
  
• Multi-media educational materials.
  

Breakthrough works through partner offices in the United States and India, the two world’s largest democracies. We believe that the promise of both countries lies in building secular, democratic and multi-cultural societies that ensure human rights for all.

Our services empower distributed networks to protect the environment, advance peace, improve public health, promote education, champion social and economic justice and increase human potential.
