História biográfica
Amnesty International (AI) was founded in 1961 and is a worldwide movement of approximately one million people engaged in numerous campaigns for the vindication of internationally recognized human rights as enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted and proclaimed by the General Assembly Resolution 217 A (III) of 10 December 1948.
To this end AI undertakes research and embarks on action to prevent and put an end to the violation of human rights worldwide.
The movement attempts to realize its vision by striving for impartiality and independence from any political affiliation.
The records that constitute the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Papers of Amnesty International collection document AI's involvement in the anti-Apartheid struggle over the decades as well as its monitoring of human rights abuses of South African citizens under Apartheid.
This engagement culminates in the Amnesty's active support of the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC).

The TRC Archival Audit
Between 2003 and 2006, SAHA and Historical Papers, University of Witwatersrand embarked on a project to locate, retrieve and make available records relating to the South African Truth and Reconciliation Committee (TRC). The project entailed conducting an archival audit of all existing TRC records in order to identify and locate documentation in danger of being lost.
In the process of conducting the archival audit, SAHA and HP located many collections from individuals and organizations that participated in the TRC process, including this collection. Selections from these materials as well as TRC related material found in the freedom of Information Collection and other pre-existing SAHA and HP collections, were digitized and can be accessed online at http://truth.wwl.wits.ac.za/
A guide to archival resources relating to South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission can also be found at http://www.saha.org.za/pdf/trc_directory.pdf
