  • The Transnational Radical Party is actually the Italian Partito Radicale, which only extended its name in the late 80s to be more compliant with its international activity. Just to clarify, its latest Congress which took place in Tirana, Albany is numbered as the 38th, while the first one was the founding congress of the Partito Radicale dating back to 1955.
  • The T.R.P. doesn't currently partecipate in elections as itself, because of its NGO status at the United Nations. However other national parties, such as the Lista Bonino or the Lista Pannella or many others were founded and supported by the T.R.P.
  • Note that the Italian political movement named Radicali Italiani, which is wrongly linked as the Italian Partito Radicale, is completely different from the T.R.P. (which is actually the Partito Radicale, as stated above).

Besides, the text is by and large a copyvio of various texts from TRP's web site. It's hardly a model of a neutral Wikipedia article. Duja► 10:10, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

As far as Amnesty International is concerned, it is not correct to say that they have strong links with that organization. To the contrary, in the '90s they had a bitter row with AI in Italy over the issue of the death penalty. They said that AI should back them in their work to obtain from the UN General Assembly a resolution calling for a moratorium of all executions, and claimed that AI was failing to support them. 83.181.181.34 13:13, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
