There is no justice on this planet, & there is no one to hold those in power, accountable.

[trevaudio]

The fact that the US and Israel do not recognise the ICC is irrelevant

[JosephBloggs-jklv]

Not "Law Firm" but "Legal Chambers" Barristers are self-employed.

She’s been mute for the first 4 months of this, it’s not enough sorry.

I don’t take my moral values from celebrities who pick and choose when they want to be outspoken…

[violet]

Amal is absolutely irrelevant given her disgraceful silence since the genocide began. If this is her way of redeeming herself she can forget it.

[toms]

It applies to ALL that commit war crimes. Not because you are so called "friends"

[lilynaw]

I wondered why didn't she care that the children in Myanmar are fired by the regime everyday and she never spoke up for those children. These ICJ, ICC, and UN leaders are losing their moral ground and I hope they will face the divine justice on where they stand.

[hassanh]

She didn't say something new😮😮, no body is above the law

[jnlyhlw]

Amal from Lebanon is human rights lawyer? But where was she on 7 October.? Was she sleeping? Why is it not a human right violation to keep hostages for so long. ? What kind of human right lawyer is she?
She reflects a dangerous mindset.

[gracieish]

How about Hamas being held accountable? What a bunch of hypocrites. Go live in Lebanon Amal then tell us again what should be done. Sickening.

[jerrybeaver]

Americans are not interested what the Clooney family has to say just act

[bobcell]

A daughter of arms dealer talks about rule of law and value of children's life What a world we live in!

[DwnRace]

I wonder why Amal doesn’t demand the release of Hostages by Hamas….

[Donn]

Elegance does NOT mean one possess intelligence!

[FAELNYC]

She should do more for her own country, I know people there are eating each other …….
No criminal charges for Lebanese leaders

[louisevanderlinde]

With her power, one would think she will stand up and demand the release of all the hostages.

[Grelotmystiqueetal]

Will she make sure the children who died on October 7th get justice?

[anonanon]

Where was Amal in 2003 when Iraq was attacked?

[MMX-fhtn]

What a joke... ICC is the laughing stock..

[esvjbwj]

So if that is the case what about the children that has been hurt in Israel? She is first and foremost Lebanese moslem
