Following on from her moving speech at the United Nations Summit on Refugees and Migrants, Amal Clooney has told Channel 4 news that she would be 'delighted' to work on the prosecution of President Assad if the opportunity arose.
'I think the UN has concluded that the Syrian government has committed crimes against humanity and war crimes.'
'They are not the only ones', She continued. 'There are other actors who have committed the same crimes. But I think there's little doubt that that's what we're dealing with.
The interview is the latest in a series of speeches Clooney has made in response to interest on her latest client; Nadia Murad - the activist who is attempting to take legal action against ISIS.
Nadia is a 23-year-old girl from the Yazidi tribe from Northern Iraq. Two years ago, ISIS stormed her village, killing nearly every man and many women including Nadia's mother. Nadia was captured as a sex slave. She escaped in November 2014 and is now campaigning to 'prompt peace through de-radicalization.' She is specifically focussing on human trafficking and mass enslavement.
In an interview with NBC's Today show, Clooney further elaborated on how Nadia's work prompted her to get involved.
'I felt a sense of outrage. It's been harrowing to hear the tales and testimony of girls as young as 11 and 12 talk about what happened to them and still we haven't been able to do anything about it.'
She also explained why just bombing ISIS wasn't going to work.
'It's not enough. You can't kill an idea that way.' She said, re-iterating that we need to 'expose their brutality and their corruption and partly you can do that through trial.'
Despite threats from ISIS, Nadia is determined to continue her work.
'It's a great responsibilty' Says Amal. 'But what she's doing is amazing.'
