Since its establishment, Amnesty International Philippines took action on several global and regional campaigns. It worked for thematic campaigns such as death penalty, juvenile justice, extra-judicial killings and disappearances mainly through legislative advocacy. AIPh has already been campaigning on women’s rights at that time. In the late 90s, the section campaigned for China (No One Is Safe) and Saudi Arabia (End Secrecy, End Suffering) and later on, for Burma and East Timor as longer term country campaigns. It has acted on Crisis Response for East Timor, Afghanistan and Iraq.
