The focus of Amnesty International
Research on Amnesty International highlights a disproportionate focus on America and Israel. From NGO Monitor:
The Capital Research Center (CRC), based in Washington, issued a report in May on Amnesty International (AI) charging that the group has adopted "double standards on human rights...an unrealistic view on armed conflict, and propaganda against America and Israel."
A statistical analysis of AI's published material from 2005 to May 2006 shows that Israel is the subject of the greatest number of AI publications per million citizens with 56 times more reports per million than North Korea and 25 times more than Egypt.
