Hi
I just submitted a PR for some more superficial fixes. However, the style is quite a mess and would need a lot of work to get into a state that makes it more robust and also easier to fix some issues.
Also, the Ammesty International source is just a webpage. We don't have a way to distinguish between a random website and something "official" because it relates to the field of study. With the current implementation of CSL we can only do so much.

[tommyengland]

The CS would depend on how the data is categorised in the reference manager rather than the CSL determining the type.

[POBrien333]

What do you mean by "categorised in the reference manager"? Can you be more specific?

[tommyengland]

A reference manager program, e.g. Mendeley. If the user takes a source, such as http://www.amnesty.org/en/library/info/MDE01/001/2012/en, and categorises it as a ‘Report', then it should be cited and referenced as such—not just a random webpage.

[POBrien333]

You mean what we usually call "item type".
Using report for this entry works already. I've just added the report number, but otherwise the output matched already.
