Amnesty International is a grassroots organization. Any individual member or group of members has an opportunity to impact the mission, method, policy, organization or allocation of resources. Resolutions are a means by which members can influence policy on a regional, national, or international level.
A resolution is a statement directing a change in AI that can't be accomplished by simply asking a staff member or volunteer leader. A resolution can be as simple as asking staff to clarify current procedures or as complex as requesting a change in AI's mission.
