In 2011 bestaat Amnesty International vijftig jaar. Ze kent wereldwijd bijna 3 miljoen leden, waarvan het overgrote deel in de westerse wereld. Om Amnesty te begrijpen, moet men haar ontwikkelingsgeschiedenis volgen, en daarmee ook die van de mensenrechten. Het verhaal achter Amnesty International gaat over de opkomst en groei van de tot nog toe grootste en invloedrijkste particuliere mensenrechtenorganisatie ter wereld, maar ook over de voor- en tegenslagen die zij heeft gekend. Veel had te maken met de omstandigheden van de tijd, maar heel ook met de afkomst en karakters van hen die bij Amnesty aan het roer stonden. Voormalige leiders zoals Peter Benenson (Engels, oprichter), Sean McBride (Iers vrijheidsstrijder), Mümtaz Soysal (voormalig regeringsleider Turkije), José Zalaquett (Chileen, hoogleraar mensenrechten), Thomas Hammarberg (Zweed, nu Commissaris voor de Mensenrechten van de Europese Raad), Irene Khan (Bangladesh, Secretaris-Generaal van Amnesty International 2001-2010) vertellen over de sterktes én zwaktes van de organisatie: het feit dat ze steeds minder grip heeft op Azië en het Midden-Oosten, de ‘concurrentie’ van nieuwe mensenrechtenorganisaties, en dat ze door critici wordt weggezet als white, wealthy and worried. Daarnaast komen ook Menno Kamminga (oud-Amnestymedewerker in Londen en New York, nu hoogleraar mensenrechten aan de Universiteit van Maastricht) en oud-minister voor Ontwikkelingssamenwerking Jan Pronk aan het woord over hun ervaringen met Amnesty.

Bert Breij (1943) is socioloog, ondernemer en publicist. Tom van Oosterhout (1953) is een pur sang onderzoeker. Beiden zijn hun hele leven al gefascineerd door mensen die voor hun idealen op de barricaden staan. In 2008 schreven Breij en Van Oosterhout samen Twee miljoen leden, over 200 jaar vakbeweging in Nederland.

Very thin & no support
Size: Queen (U.S. Standard)
I was thinking these pillows were going to be kind of firm with the way they are described and the picture but they are very thin and when I laid down on it, it was like whatever is in the pillow just instantly moved to each side of my head. Definitely not for me and my neck issues.

Back sleeper here
Size: Standard
So since they were listed as down alternative, I was interested to see if they had that artificially puffy feel to them. They do get puffed up really well after a day. And the fabric is cool and comfortable. I do feel like these have good quality stuffing and the cover feels nice. I'm a back sleeper and it's just the right amount of bulk under my neck. I usually bunch the pillow up a little bit there so there's a little more pressure under my neck but with these it just felt good to lay on it without having to bunch it up in any special way. So I would definitely recommend them. So far I'm really liking having these pillows.

Nice and Fluffy
Size: Standard
These "down alternative" pillows have been a winner for me. Came two to a package and once they have a couple of days our of the vacuum packaging are nice and fluffy with no noticable odor. Just the right amount of "spring" to them for my taste. Also don't overheat my face/neck as traditional down pillows sometimes have.
