Probably the best organisations to monitor large-scale abuse are Médecins Sans Frontières and the Red Cross. It's not that Amnesty don't care about genocide, it's that their focus is on political oppression and prisoners of conscience. MSF and the Red Cross, along with other aid agencies like UNICEF, UNHCR, Oxfam or Christian Aid will have people on the ground in or as near as possible to places like Darfur (although I think not Chechnya at the moment, unfortunately), and if they have to leave a region because it's too difficult to operate, they'll say so.
Of course aid agencies tend to be carefully apolitical, which is good in that it gets them more access than Amnesty could possibly hope for, but potentially bad in that they'll report conditions as far as they can, but won't say anything that might look like an agenda.
