Founded in 1961, it has sought to guard the basic human rights as outlined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Currently, it has over 2.2 million members in over 150 countries campaigning towards preventing and ending human right abuses. This year (2007-2008), the Georgetown University chapter has focused its campaign against torture and extraordinary rendition. The chapter has organized several events such as the screening of the Road to Guantanamo as well as trips to rallies. Keeping to its philosophy, we have also focused on the Burma issue and invited speakers during a discussion panel. We have meetings every Wednesday nights at 8:15 pm in ICC 213.
