According to the "Core Values" in Amnesty's "Statute": Amnesty International forms a global community of human rights defenders with the principles of international solidarity, effective action for the individual victim, global coverage, the universality and indivisibility of human rights, impartiality and independence, and democracy and mutual respect.

Days before joining the board of Amnesty USA, Rasha Abdel Latif shared a tweet that glorified a terrorist attack on civilians in Tel Aviv. Previous posts by her included: "There is nothing called ‘Israel,’ it is ‘Palestine territory.’” Amnesty’s response framed her posts as “personal” and not reflective of the organization, without directly condemning or addressing the substance. It reframed the exposure as a politically motivated “attack” on human rights work—while confirming she stayed on the board and offering no meaningful accountability beyond generic references to Amnesty’s 2022 research and broad condemnation of attacks on civilians.
