In 2011 bestaat Amnesty International vijftig jaar. Ze kent wereldwijd bijna 3 miljoen leden, waarvan het overgrote deel in de westerse wereld. Om Amnesty te begrijpen, moet men haar ontwikkelingsgeschiedenis volgen, en daarmee ook die van de mensenrechten. Het verhaal achter Amnesty International gaat over de opkomst en groei van de tot nog toe grootste en invloedrijkste particuliere mensenrechtenorganisatie ter wereld, maar ook over de voor- en tegenslagen die zij heeft gekend. Veel had te maken met de omstandigheden van de tijd, maar heel ook met de afkomst en karakters van hen die bij Amnesty aan het roer stonden. Voormalige leiders zoals Peter Benenson (Engels, oprichter), Sean McBride (Iers vrijheidsstrijder), Mümtaz Soysal (voormalig regeringsleider Turkije), José Zalaquett (Chileen, hoogleraar mensenrechten), Thomas Hammarberg (Zweed, nu Commissaris voor de Mensenrechten van de Europese Raad), Irene Khan (Bangladesh, Secretaris-Generaal van Amnesty International 2001-2010) vertellen over de sterktes én zwaktes van de organisatie: het feit dat ze steeds minder grip heeft op Azië en het Midden-Oosten, de ‘concurrentie’ van nieuwe mensenrechtenorganisaties, en dat ze door critici wordt weggezet als white, wealthy and worried. Daarnaast komen ook Menno Kamminga (oud-Amnestymedewerker in Londen en New York, nu hoogleraar mensenrechten aan de Universiteit van Maastricht) en oud-minister voor Ontwikkelingssamenwerking Jan Pronk aan het woord over hun ervaringen met Amnesty.

Bert Breij (1943) is socioloog, ondernemer en publicist. Tom van Oosterhout (1953) is een pur sang onderzoeker. Beiden zijn hun hele leven al gefascineerd door mensen die voor hun idealen op de barricaden staan. In 2008 schreven Breij en Van Oosterhout samen Twee miljoen leden, over 200 jaar vakbeweging in Nederland.

Totally worth the money
Size: King (Pack of 1), Size: King (Pack of 1)
Right off the bat, the packaging is absolutely adorable and felt like I was buying a premium product. I love that this pillow is adjustable and as a side sleeper, I needed a pillow that is both firm and supportive of my neck. This hits all the boxes. We will be buying more of these for our bed!

As advertised for once! Lol
Color: Cooling Blue Cover, Size: Queen (Pack of 2), Color: Cooling Blue Cover, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
Queen size set of 2 pillows, I'm giving it 5stars first bc it has a good length and width!! If you've ever bought memory foam pillows before you know some are small!! Anyways after having it for 5nights, we loved that me and my huddy could adjust the Thickness amount we had in it to our needs, me needing a thick pillow and my husband needing a flatter one. So this was perfect for that. So far its nice to sleep on, stays cool, doesnt get hot. I would say its on the frimer side but softer the more foam you take out! Really its just good for the amount you spend!! Will it last 10years probably not but what does now a days. This is the only time my huddy n I bought the same pillow and both love it so I'm just still in shock it worked out so well!!

Adjustable pillows
Color: Cooling Blue Cover, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
I love these because they don't go flat. You can pull out whatever you need to make them comfy for you. They come in two different layers. So you have that protective cover over the main case that holds the memory foam. They're amazing to sleep on. I have had these last for years without going flat. If you hate flat pillows this is the way to go. They are very easy to wash. You just have to separate layers. They are very thick, you can adjust the thickness. Everyone in my house has at least one. They are worth the money. I have never had to replace them, because they went flat.

Good pillows
Color: Cooling Blue Cover, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
Takes some getting used to but and the cooling doesn’t last very long in my opinion, but overall amazing comfy pillows. The materials are good and are washable. I mostly stopped waking up with a stiff neck and back.
