The answer is: A
Explanation
Answer: A - Human Rights Group
Explanation:
- Amnesty International is an independent, global Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) that campaigns for human rights worldwide.
- Founded in 1961 by British lawyer Peter Benenson in London.
- Headquartered in London, United Kingdom.
- Won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1977.
- Funded entirely by voluntary contributions from members and public - accepts no government funding to maintain independence.
Why other options are wrong:
- UN agency to fight global terrorism - Amnesty has no connection to UN operationally. It often criticises both governments and UN members for human rights violations.
- Refugee camp in Croatia - Completely wrong. It is a global organisation, not a physical camp.
- Wing of the World Bank - World Bank is a financial institution focused on development lending. Amnesty is entirely separate and independent.
