This case study by Amnesty International focuses on political prisoners, torture, and human rights abuses in Syria. The report sheds light on the use of torture, providing valuable insights into the situation. The effectiveness of such reports and strategies in influencing global political decisions is a key question. The study design explores power dynamics and the impact on global politics. Assessing the influence of Amnesty and similar campaigns on creating changes is challenging. An essay question is proposed: "NGOs are gaining more power than states in global politics. Discuss, with evidence supporting both agreements and disagreements."
