I'm missing the misrepresentation and the hypocrisy here - someone fill me in.

The Death Penalty
The death penalty is the ultimate cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment. It violates the right to life. It is irrevocable and can be inflicted on the innocent and has never been shown to deter crime more effectively than other punishments.
Poverty and human rights

Refugees and Migrants
Everyday people make decisions to leave their homes, communities and countries. Some leave because they are afraid. They are afraid for their lives, and for the lives of their children and loved ones. Others leave because their social or economic situation has compelled them to do so.
The Internet and Human Rights
The internet is the new frontline in the fight for human rights. Governments are increasingly monitoring web, email and blog use, censoring and prosecuting their citizens for expressing their opinions online.
Economic globalization and human rights.
Economic globalization and human rights
Amnesty International believes economic actors - be they companies or international financial institutions - are accountable for the human rights impact of their activities.
International Justice
International Justice
The twentieth century was perhaps the bloodiest in history. Millions of people were victims of genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, torture, extrajudicial executions and "disappearances." These crimes were committed throughout the world during international and civil wars and in conditions of "peace.".

Child soldiers

United Nations
United Nations
The UN General Assembly's current effort to create a new Human Rights Council is a historic opportunity to improve the UN’s capacity to protect and promote all human rights.

It would seem that regardless of the impact the organization has in the world in its attempts to better the lives of everyone, they are being boycotted for a neutral stance on the vague issue of fetal rights by an organization that has pretty much ignored its own incredible damage done to children through sexual manipulation going back hundreds of years. They are trying to force the religious standards they hold upon a non religious movement through monetary means, primarily because the Catholic Church no longer has any other weapon at its disposal.
Seriously...the Christ would weep if he could see what Catholisism has become.
