She is a barrister at Doughty Street Chambers, specializing in international law and human rights.[1] Her clients include Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, in his fight against extradition.[2] She has also represented the former prime minister of Ukraine, Yulia Tymoshenko,[3] and Egyptian-Canadian journalist Mohamed Fahmy. She is married to the American actor George Clooney.

Background

Early life and family

She was born in Beirut, Lebanon. During the 1980s Lebanese Civil War the Alamuddin family left Lebanon and settled in Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire.[4] She was two years old at the time.[5] Her father, Ramzi Alam Uddin, who received his MBA degree at the American University of Beirut and was the owner of COMET travel agency, returned to Lebanon in 1991.[6][7] He is from a Lebanese Druze family from Baakline, a village in the Chouf district.[5][8][9][10][11][12] Her mother, Bariaa Miknass, originally from Tripoli, North Lebanon, is a foreign editor of the Pan-Arab newspaper al-Hayat and a founder of the public relations company International Communication Experts, which is part of a larger company that specializes in celebrity guest bookings, publicity photography, and event promotion.[5][13] The family of Clooney's mother Bariaa is a Sunni Muslim[14][15] from Tripoli in Northern Lebanon.[14][15]

She has three siblings—one sister, Tala, and two half-brothers, Samer and Ziad,[5] from her father's first marriage.[16]

Education

Clooney attended Dr Challoner's High School, a girls' grammar school located in Little Chalfont, Buckinghamshire. She then studied at St. Hugh's College, Oxford, where she received an Exhibition[17] and the Shrigley Award.[18] In 2000, Clooney graduated with a BA degree in Jurisprudence (Oxford's equivalent to the LLB)[19] from St. Hugh's College, Oxford.

The following year, in 2001, she entered New York University School of Law to study for the LLM degree, where she was a clerk for the clerkships program at the International Court of Justice.[20] She received the Jack J. Katz Memorial Award for excellence in entertainment law.[21][22] For one semester while at NYU, she worked as a student law clerk at the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in the offices of Sonia Sotomayor, who is now on the Supreme Court of the United States.[23]

Career

New York

Clooney worked at Sullivan & Cromwell in New York City for three years as part of the Criminal Defense and Investigations Group, where her clients included Enron and Arthur Andersen.[18][21]

The Hague

In 2004, she completed a judicial clerkship at the International Court of Justice. She clerked under Judge Vladen S. Vereshchetin from Russia, Judge Nabil Elaraby from Egypt,[20][24] and ad hoc Judge Sir Franklin Berman from the United Kingdom.

She was subsequently based in The Hague working in the Office of the Prosecutor at the UN Special Tribunal for Lebanon and at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.[25]

London

Clooney returned to Britain in 2010,[26] where she became a barrister in London (Bar of England & Wales, Inner Temple) at Doughty Street Chambers.[18] In 2013 Clooney was appointed to a number of United Nations commissions, including as adviser to Special Envoy Kofi Annan on Syria and as Counsel to the 2013 Drone Inquiry by UN human rights rapporteur Ben Emmerson QC into the use of drones in counter-terrorism operations.[22][27]

She has been involved in high-profile cases representing the state of Cambodia, the former Libyan intelligence chief Abdallah Al Senussi, Yulia Tymoshenko[28] and Julian Assange, and was an adviser to the King of Bahrain in connection with the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry headed by Professor M. Cherif Bassiouni.[21]

Teaching

For the spring 2015 and 2016 academic semesters, Clooney was a visiting faculty member and a senior fellow with Columbia Law School's Human Rights Institute.[29] She was a co-professor with Sarah H. Cleveland in Cleveland's course on human rights and taught a class on human rights litigation to students in the school's Human Rights Clinic.[30][31]

Clooney has also lectured students on international criminal law at the Law School of the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, The New School in New York City, The Hague Academy of International Law, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.[21]

Notable cases

In April 2011, Clooney worked a case involving the Cambodian-Thai border dispute regarding claims of ownership over the Temple of Preah Vihear.[32] The dispute went before the International Court of Justice at The Hague.[33]

As of 2011, Clooney was assisting the Permanent Court of Arbitration in the arbitration between Merck Sharp and Dohme and the Republic of Ecuador.[34]

Starting in the fall of 2014, Clooney represented Canadian Al Jazeera English journalist Mohamed Fahmy who, along with other journalists, was being held in Egypt.[35][36][37][38] He was eventually sentenced to three years in prison and lost a retrial in August 2015 before finally being pardoned by Egyptian president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.[39][40]

In August 2014, Clooney was selected for the UN's three-member commission to look into possible violations of the rules of war in the Gaza Strip during the Israel–Gaza conflict. Clooney declined the position, stating that her other commitments did not allow her the time to participate.[41]

In October 2014, Clooney became involved in the repatriation of ancient Greek sculptures called the Elgin Marbles for the Greek government.[42][43] The sculptures have been part of the collection of the British Museum since 1816.[44] In May 2015, Greece decided to stop legal proceedings to recover the sculptures.[45]

In January 2015, Clooney began work on the recognition of the Armenian Genocide.[46] She is representing Armenia on behalf of Doughty Street Chambers along with Geoffrey Robertson QC.[47] She said Turkey's stance was hypocritical "because of its disgraceful record on freedom of expression", including prosecutions of Turkish-Armenians who campaign for the 1915 massacres to be called a genocide.[46] She is representing Armenia in the case against Doğu Perinçek,[48][49] whose 2007 conviction for genocide denial and racial discrimination was overturned in Perinçek v. Switzerland (2013).[46] A "minor internet frenzy" resulted from her bon mot prior to the 28 January 2015 hearing. In response to a journalist pestering her over what designer gown she would be wearing in court, she replied "Ede & Ravenscroft" – the tailors who make her court robes.[50][51]

On 8 March 2015, Clooney filed a case for the continued detention of former president and Pampanga congresswoman Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo against the government before the UN's Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, a body under the United Nations Commission on Human Rights.[52] On 2 October, The United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention has released its opinion that the detention of former President Arroyo "violates international law" and is "arbitrary on a number of grounds."[53]

On 7 April 2015, it was announced that Clooney would be part of the legal team defending Mohamed Nasheed, former President of the Maldives, in his ongoing arbitrary detention.[54] Nasheed was sentenced to 13 years in jail in March 2015 following what was characterized as a politically motivated trial.[55] Amnesty International described his sentencing as a "travesty of justice."[56][57] Prior to visiting the Maldives, the local co-counsel working on the case was stabbed in the head, an indication of the danger and instability in the country.[58] In January 2016, Clooney gave a series of interviews about the UN-condemned trial and imprisonment of Nasheed and put forth efforts to support imposing sanctions on the Maldives.[59][60] According to The Economist, she has "helped strengthen the backing of Britain’s prime minister, David Cameron, for the cause of Maldivian democracy."[61]

In June 2015, Clooney began work on the recently re-opened case[62] brought by the Irish government against the British government regarding policies UK Prime Minister Edward Heath (1970–1974) used in Operation Demetrius that included the illegal interrogation methods known as five techniques.[63] Working with Minister for Foreign Affairs Charles Flanagan, the case will be heard by the European Court of Human Rights.[64][65]

Clooney is part of the legal team representing Louis Olivier Bancoult and Chagos islanders on their claim[66] that they had been forced off their island, Diego Garcia, in 1971 by the UK government to make way for a U.S. military base.[67]

In 2016, it was announced that Clooney will represent Azerbaijani journalist, Khadija Ismayilova, at the European Court of Human Rights. Ismayilova's investigative work had resulted in her imprisonment.[68] Following the trial, Ismayilova was released from prison and had her sentence reduced to a suspended three-and-a-half year term.[69]

In September 2016, Clooney spoke – for the first time at the United Nations – before the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) to discuss the decision she made in June 2016[70] to represent Murad as a client in legal action against ISIL commanders.[71][72][73] Clooney characterized the genocide, rape, and trafficking as a "bureaucracy of evil on an industrial scale" by ISIL, describing a slave market existing both online, on Facebook and in the Mideast that is still active today.[74]

Appointments

On 25 February 2014, the Office of the UK Attorney General appointed Clooney for the period 2014 to 2019 to the C Panel of the Public International Law Panel of Counsel.[75][76]

In May 2014, Clooney was a signatory of UNICEF UK and Jemima Khan's open letter that urged on the public a call for "action from UK Government to protect women and children".[77]

On 2 January 2015, it was reported by The Guardian that before Clooney was involved as Rapporteur in the case against Mohamed Fahmy, she had written a report in February 2014 for the International Bar Association’s Human Rights Institute (IBAHRI) that was critical of Egypt's judiciary process. Clooney and others were warned that there was a strong possibility they would be arrested if they entered Egypt, as a result of the criticism.[78][79]

Awards and honors

Clooney studied at St. Hugh's College, Oxford, where she received an Exhibition[17] and the Shrigley Award.[18] Clooney received the Jack J. Katz Memorial Award for excellence in entertainment law.[21][22]

Clooney was chosen as Barbara Walters' Most Fascinating Person of 2014.[80] At the 2014 British Fashion Awards Clooney was shortlisted for Best British Style alongside David Beckham, Kate Moss, Keira Knightley and Emma Watson.[81]

Philanthropy

Clooney partnered with the global initiative 100 Lives in beginning the Amal Clooney Scholarship, which was created to send one female student from Lebanon to the United World College Dilijan each year, to enroll in a two-year international baccalaureate program.[82]

Personal life

Amal and George Clooney with Julia Roberts at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, in France.

Clooney is fluent in English, French and conversational Arabic.[83][84] Her father is Lebanese Druze.[10][11][12][14][85] Her mother is a Lebanese Sunni Muslim.[14][15] Some reports have described Clooney as a Muslim.[85] She became engaged to actor George Clooney on 28 April 2014.[86] Her first name is derived from Arabic أمل ʾamal, meaning "hope".[87]

In July 2014, George Clooney publicly criticized the British tabloid newspaper the Daily Mail after it claimed his fiancée's mother opposed their marriage on religious grounds.[88] When the tabloid apologized for its false story, he refused to accept the apology. He called the paper "the worst kind of tabloid. One that makes up its facts to the detriment of its readers."[89]

On 7 August 2014, the couple obtained marriage licences at the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea of the United Kingdom.[90] They married on 27 September 2014 in Venice's city hall (at Ca' Farsetti),[91][92][93] following a star-studded wedding ceremony two days earlier, also[94] in Venice.[95][96][97] They were married by Clooney's friend Walter Veltroni, a former mayor of Rome.[97][98] The wedding was widely reported in the media.[99] In October 2014, it was announced that the couple had bought the Mill House on an island in the River Thames at Sonning Eye in England[100] at a cost of around £10 million.[101] The Clooneys are planning to visit Beirut.[102]
