Human rights lawyer Amal Clooney, 45, believes British laws should be changed to prevent Russian war criminals from visiting the country without fear of prosecution. He writes independent.
Krekar: – Amal Clooney is wanted as a lawyer
Clooney wants to prosecute human rights violations and war crimes regardless of the suspects’ nationality or where they live.
Currently, offenders who commit offenses in England or Wales, or outside the United Kingdom, are punished by a British citizen, British resident, or a person under British Service authority.
It’s time to reform the laws so that Russian war criminals can be arrested at Heathrow. Genocides should know that no one is safe in British ports.
Moreover, the lawyer says that courts around the world can bring war criminals to justice.
– It took too long
– But in the UK, criminals linked to genocide, war crimes and human rights abuses can only be prosecuted if the suspect is a UK resident or citizen. Only two trials for international crimes have resulted in convictions.
The Clooney Foundation for Justice and Justice, which was founded by Amal Clooney and her husband and Hollywood star George Clooney (61), is expected to release a report later this year on the team.
