Amnesty International is
D.an inter-governmental agency to cater to medical emergencies in war-ravaged regions
B.a global Human Rights Movement
C.a non-governmental voluntary organization to help very poor people
A.an agency of the United Nations to help refugees of civil wars
Correct Answer: Option B
Amnesty International is a global movement of over 7 million people dedicated to defending human rights worldwide.
It is not an agency of the United Nations, nor is it primarily focused on refugees, poverty, or medical emergencies in war zones, although its human rights work may touch upon these issues.
Hence, Amnesty International is a global Human Rights Movement.
