Here is a surprising news item being disclosed for the
first time in this column—Amal Ramzi Alamuddin, wife of prominent actor and
human rights activist George Clooney, will be one of the attorneys representing
Armenia next month at the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR)… Mrs. Clooney
is a highly regarded attorney specializing in international law, criminal law,
human rights, and extradition. She has been involved in several major lawsuits
such as return of the Elgin Marbles from Great Britain to Greece, and defending
Julian Assange of WikiLeaks and former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia
Tymoshenko. She has also worked with the Prosecutor of the UN Special Tribunal
for Lebanon, and the International Criminal Tribunal for former Yugoslavia.
