Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Interactive elements.

There are not many elements to this site to make it interactive for the user. Campaign blogs are the most interactive element to the site. The aim for this charity is more about getting the people to continue the movement for human rights by geting out and being seen. There are several places in which you can make donations or receive news letters. Feeds are also obtainable on the site to stay informed and recently added to the front page is the video of the Fijian Crisis.

This site seems more to be about getting the news out to the world about Human Rights rather that making the site the place for interaction. The shop and jobs section included are also part of the web site however this is still not contributing to a high standard of web 2.0. Facebook, Twitter, Myspace and Youtube appear to be the gateways to the social networking for Amnesty. It is also encouraged on the site to share the information on other networks like digg, Del.icio.us, Reddit, Stumbleupon, Magnolia and Newsvine.

To become interactive you are guided to go off site and use other facilities rather that the Amnesty site itself.

  1. i think that the 'stay informed' option of this website is a fantastic feature. if it is a cause that someone is really interested in then they would definitely sign up for the newsletter option. being able to stay informed without having to actually do anything is a great way for sites like this to keep up their presence amongst people who are often very busy with their own lives and don't always have the time to go to the site to see what is happening. receiving automatic updates makes this much easier for them and there is a much higher probability of them staying involved with any issues or campaigns this way. i think a newsletter or some sort of automatic update option is a great feature in any social/environmental organisation's website

  2. I agree with you keljane77!!! this feature is fantastic and i know i would sign up with no hesitations. The subject is quite important to keep informed about and it would be a site many of my friends would join up and stay interested in knowing about.
