#Amnesty International

After workingthrough the reaction on the AI report below - observations:

1. looks like the meltdown of another NGO / Do-gooders group - crashing into a real war in Europe

Ukraine: Ukrainian fighting tactics endanger civilians amnesty.org/en/latest/news…

2. unable to contextualize facts and give them the appropriate position in the overall picture
3. as experts indicate: insufficient knowledge of the chosen topic ( IHL/law of armed conflict)
4. marginal communication skills - CEO made pissy statement - since then - nothing

5. no anticipation that social media is part of the war fighting environment: Russia took the @amnesty report and turned it against Ukraine
6. unclear why @amnesty Ukraine office warnings have not been taken into account
6.1: head of this office declined
...

7. this meltdown seems similar to what we see currently in Germany and its peace politics:
A thought construct that, after getting in touch with harsh reality implodes: the end of a system that provided ideological home but also money - the peace industry

but also the beginning of a learning process

I am so shocked by the Amnesty meltdown, because in my student time as well as during research on warfare in many wars, they have been a key source.

I am fascinated by the development from a management perspective:
it implies so many things gone wrong on

1. choosing key personnel
2. organizing quality control
3. generating constructive criticism on strategy within the organisation

...
4. keeping organisation on course during a phase of tidal change in the operating environment
