Criticism of Amnesty International
(詳細はselection bias, ideological/foreign policy bias against either non-Western countries, or Western-supported countries and AI's policies relating to organisational continuity.〔 Governments who have criticised AI include those of Israel,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://unitedwithisrael.org/ngo-monitor-blasts-amnesty/ )〕 the Democratic Republic of the Congo,〔 China,〔(The U.S. and China This Week ), U.S.-China Policy Foundation, 16 February 2001. Retrieved 15 May 2006.〕 Vietnam,〔"(The Cream of The Diplomatic Crop from Ha Noi. )", THIÊN LÝ BỬU TÒA. Retrieved 15 May 2006.〕 Russia〔"(Russian official blasts Amnesty International over Chechnya refugees )", Human Rights Violations in Chechnya, 22 August 2003. Retrieved 15 May 2006.〕 and the United States,〔(Press Briefing By Scott McClellan ), The White House, 25 May 2005. Retrieved 30 May 2006.〕 who have attacked Amnesty International for what they assert is one-sided reporting or a failure to treat threats to security as a mitigating factor. The actions of these governments — and of other governments critical of Amnesty International — have been the subject of human rights concerns voiced by Amnesty. The Catholic Church has also criticized Amnesty for its stance on abortion.
==Excessive payouts to senior staff==
In February 2011, newspaper stories in the UK revealed that Irene Khan had received a payment of UK £533,103 from Amnesty International following her resignation from the organisation on 31 December 2009,〔 a fact discovered in Amnesty's records for the 2009–2010 financial year. The sum paid to her was in excess of four times her annual salary of £132,490.〔Tania Mason, (Charity Commission has 'no jurisdiction' over board member's payment from Amnesty ), civilsociety.co.uk, 21 February 2011. Retrieved 21 February 2011.〕 The deputy secretary general, Kate Gilmore – who also resigned in December 2009 – received an ex-gratia payment of £320,000.〔〔John Chapman, (Amnesty boss gets secret £500,000 payout ), express.co.uk, 19 February 2011. Retrieved 21 February 2011.〕 Peter Pack, the chairman of Amnesty's international executive committee, said on 19 February 2011, "The payments to outgoing secretary general Irene Khan shown in the accounts of AI (Amnesty International) Ltd for the year ending 31 March 2010 include payments made as part of a confidential agreement between AI Ltd and Irene Khan."〔 and that "It is a term of this agreement that no further comment on it will be made by either party."〔 On 21 February Pack issued a further statement, in which he said that the payment was a "unique situation" that was "in the best interest of Amnesty’s work" and that there would be no repetition of it.〔 He stated that "the new secretary general, with the full support of the IEC, has initiated a process to review our employment policies and procedures to ensure that such a situation does not happen again."〔 Pack also stated that Amnesty was "fully committed to applying all the resources that we receive from our millions of supporters to the fight for human rights".〔
In a letter to the "movement" dated 25 February, Pack offered additional details, which in turn had been made public by Amnesty International Netherlands.〔Peter Pack, (A letter to all AI members and staff from the International Executive Committee. ), amnesty.nl, 25 February 2011. Retrieved 1 March 2011.〕 According to this statement Irene Khan, being reluctant to retire at the end of her second term, the International Executive Committee offered her additional termination benefits, payment of back salary, bonuses and other inducements to leave. UK employment law offering additional protections to fixed-term employees had given Khan leverage to ask for termination benefits. The alternatives, according to Pack, would have been her continuation in office, or an official dismissal which might have led to litigation.
