Amnesty International is an international non-governmental organization focused on human rights, with its headquarters in the United Kingdom. The organization says it has more than ten million members and supporters around the world. The stated mission of the organization is to campaign for "a world in which every person enjoys all of the human rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international human rights instruments." The organization has played an important role in transforming and spread human rights norms in the international system.

Oswaldo Guayasamín was an Ecuadorian painter, sculptor, graphic artist, and muralist. Guayasamín's art is known for its strong expressionistic style, often depicting human suffering, political oppression, and social inequalities. A key characteristic of his work is his portrayal of figures with elongated, often angular features and powerful hands.

Because of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn or stained. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the vintage charm.

These posters are sent as unframed. They will be delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.
