This undergraduate thesis will explain how Amnesty International as a transnational actor will stop the Dakota Access Pipeline Project (DAPL). DAPL is a pipeline route built by gas and oil company with the name Energy Transfers (ET). ET planned DAPL will be 1.886 km long when finished and will cross North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa and Illinois. Conflict arouse when this route is shown to the public because Dakota state is home for the indigenous people of America, Standing Rock Sioux tribe. DAPL will take their land and if the pipeline leaked, their water source will be at risk for being contaminated. The tribe said that if this pipeline continue, it means that the federal government will break the Fort Laramie Treaty that ensure the indigenous people living in the reservation can live there peacefully without any disturbance. Furthermore, if the pipeline continue to built it means that the basic human rights of the indigenous to have water and decent life is violated. The construction of DAPL itself has violated many human rights such as the right for peaceful protest and it makes human rights based NGO to flare up. Amnesty International as a human rights NGO is also getting involved with this project. This thesis will explain how Amnesty International mobilize local community and the public to aware about violation of human rights with empowerment at the grassroots theory and how AI is a human right based NGO that have the power to build discourse with Barnett and Duvall’s productive power.
