They started campaigning in 1961, with the start of "The Forgotten Prisoners". They currently have 2.2 million members over 150 countries all over the world. There are three committees that make up this organization: the International Executive Committee, the Secretary General, and the Senior Leadership Team.
The International Executive Committee is made of nine people who are elected democratically, and serve for up to three years. Their job is to lead, guide, and ensure that things are getting done and plans are being carried out.
The Secretary General is one person who develops and coordinates the plans to protect human rights.
The Senior Leadership Team is made of seven people currently. They are headed by the Secretary General. These guys work together to promote and carry out the plans to protect human rights. They are like the operational managers to all of the International Secretariat staff and volunteers.
