Amal Clooney Represents Armenia in Genocide Trial, Deserves All The
Lifetime Achievement Awards
Arielle Dachille
Welp, this is pretty much the most impressive thing ever. Because she
is an unstoppable machine of human rights justice, Amal Clooney is
representing Armenia in a trial related to the country's genocide. You
can stop talking about her white gloves from the Golden Globes,
already.
As People reports, Clooney will serve as legal counsel for Armenia on
a trial before the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) concerning
the nearly century-old event. To this day, Turkey reportedly claims
that only 600,000 Armenians were killed in the event that lasted from
1915-1923, rather than the estimated 1.5 million. According to The
Telegraph, Clooney will argue on behalf of Armenia that the court's
decision to pardon DoÄ?u Perinçek was an affront to the rights of the
Armenians. Perinçek is the chairman of the Turkish Worker's Party who
was found guilty of denying the Armenian Genocide in 2007, but the
decision was overturned because the ECHR ruled that the decision
violated his rights of free speech.
Clooney will reportedly try to prove that this ruling puts the entire
existence of the Armenian Genocide into question. Furthermore, she
will supposedly maintain that the ruling was hypocritical due to the
past violations of freedom of expressions committed by the Turkish
government. I'm no lawyer, but it sounds like this may very well be a
landmark trial with the power to set an influential precedent in this
particular court. Can we just give her all of the lifetime achievement
awards??
But even when she is literally changing the course of history, people
are still gonna talk about her outfits. According to E! News, a
Telegraph reporter jokingly asked who she was wearing as she walked
into trial on Wednesday morning. She reportedly laughed and pointed to
her barrister's robes and replied `Ede & Ravenscroft' ' the brand of
her uniform. That's what they call an Amal burn, suckazzzz!!
