WOMEN+POWER: Amal Clooney

Amal Clooney revealed in June that she had reviewed the International Criminal Court prosecutor’s investigation that led to the request for arrest warrants for three Hamas leaders and two Israeli leaders, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.

Clooney, a prominent British lawyer, specializes in international law and human rights. She has appeared before the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice, where she has represented victims of mass atrocities.

On Monday, she said in a statement that she was a member of an eight-person panel of legal and academic experts convened in January by the International Criminal Court at the request of its prosecutor, Karim Khan, to review his investigation into possible crimes committed in the conflict.

For this investigation, the panel was asked to determine if the prosecutor’s applications for arrest warrants met the International Criminal Court’s standard. Specifically, the group was asked whether there were “reasonable grounds to believe” that those named in the warrant applications had committed crimes within the court’s jurisdiction, including genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity.

The panel unanimously concluded that there were such grounds, and published a report on Monday detailing their findings. Clooney said in a statement that the panel “engaged in an extensive process of evidence review and legal analysis,” before reaching its decision.

“The law that protects civilians in war was developed more than 100 years ago and it applies in every country in the world regardless of the reasons for a conflict,” Clooney said. “As a human rights lawyer, I will never accept that one child’s life has less value than another’s.”

Now, I know some of you might be rolling your eyes at this point – I totally get it. A 5711 with the Tiffany & Co. stamp link is less of a watch and link more of a "rich guy" totem these days. But that's not me. And that's not what this story is about. It's about the people I met and the places I went while wearing my 5711. And most importantly, it's about appreciating a legendary watch and how lucky I link was to own it in the first place.

Norqain definitely gets some heat for its new releases, but that's the same for pretty much any brand. As a new(er) brand, with this level of power behind its movement manufacturing, I certainly link won't be the link one to count it out. Hindsight is 20/20, and while these particular models might not be for me personally, I see a trio of fun, capable, link everyday watches looking for someone ready to zig when everyone else is zagging.
