[@gaurishukla1307]

Nadia fighting tears while hearing this speech breaks my heart. :'(

[@hiphoplover9292]

Breaks everybody who has a heart

[@shmuelhirsch2069]

When she said "I am proud to know you Nadia, and I'm sorry that we have failed you", I completely broke down and lost it.

[@jenniferervin9221]

Now, I know how George Clooney madly in love with Amal. Beautiful,intelligence and full of humanity defending her clients regardless of what religion.

[@chriswindham5474]

R. S. Better educated then you

[@citisamsjw5513]

Her only mistake is marrying Hollywood star?😎

[@vartikagaur2922]

Nadia Murad won the Nobel Peace Prize this year. So incredibly proud of her.

[@picklepirate]

This is so sad. I think it’s awesome that rather than becoming a model, such a beautiful woman works hard to attain justice globally

[@Fate2024]

Haylie R. Wilson there’s a lot of beautiful successful women , and she’s lebanese being educated is a must

[@harshvardhanpathak6372]

True observation

[@khatunhomecooking9221]

I no righ

[@RamRam-gs1so]

Ya u r right I also agree

[@govindbisen388]

Beautiful people need to work on ground to motivate people.

[@techibabe]

Amazing woman ...beauty, brains, and bravery

[@harshvardhanpathak6372]

techibabe respect

[@Ranee1866]

I am sick to my stomach hearing this ..my heart bleeds for Nadia n her family ...

[@doctorgentleman3791]

Dont put this on Islam Islam mean peace those called ISIS are called the outers of religion They are criminal If you read about real Islam you will be shocked on the tolerance and peace of this relegion bring to world

[@RamRam-gs1so]

U know whats the biggest tragedy ?? There are many nadias in our world ,😢

[@anukritiverma6211]

These two women are so inspiring!

[@gemgem3570]

I cried when Amal said “Nadia I’m sorry we have failed you.” Can’t say sorry enough Nadia.

[@magdamagdalena5979]

Ja Amal ,du hast genug luxus lade zu sich nach Hause paar Ukrainer. Her auf zum labern .

[@asouljj5245]

I cried I'm sorry nadia my heart with you

[@radhikashah47]

proud of nadia as a woman.

[@ZanoZik]

99% of UN members were like, "Nice story, Amal... When is lunch?!"

[@steveeab2364]

Michael E Naw, Hillary definitely wouldn't pay. One of her donors would.

[@ZanoZik]

Alice F.L Yes, yes, they all called you personally to tell you: "Dear Alice, we all would like to do *something*, however, under certain circumstances, we just don't give a f*ck".

[@ZanoZik]

Alice F.L Oh, right, he is that valet parking guy! Nice man, always shines my car when I am there participating.

[@ZanoZik]

Alice F.L What hated? Get yourself a dictionary and look up "nice guy". I realize that IQ expectation of valet parking man's descendants is minimal, but this is elementary. Is English your fifth language or something?

[@ZanoZik]

Alice F.L Did I day something about English being your first language? Seriously, learn to read. You are bragging about your morale, while lying your ass off. Figures.

[@tigerladylily]

Amal and Nadia, I will pray for your protection. That may God shield you as you bring justice to the victims and stopped ISIS from doing these evil acts to people, especially to women.

[@pooja_2023]

Keep up the good work Ms. Amal... The world needs more women like you!

[@anonnymus2218]

Patriarchy and Narcissism...two things responsible for all the horrors in the world.

[@naomideguyane]

well said!

[@lamalien2276]

Your accusations of patriarchy are evidence of your own gender-narcissism.

[@naomideguyane]

A coté de la plaque!

[@rosedonna3946]

Anon Nymus so true, I pray one day women control everything and fix everything men ruined and destroyed.

[@99txgh]

LAM Alien Not really, both are toxic whether it's a patriarchal or matriarchal society, it's just the the former is much more prevalent today. You don't understand how badly these countries treat woman, I told my relatives that I had a place to study medicine and they just laughed as if it was a joke that a woman can ever make a good doctor and asked if my father gave me permission. I'm just glad my father doesn't believe in the things he was brought up to believe

[@lasvegashula]

Oh gosh I’m in tears. Thank you Amal for helping women in need.

[@carmengeorgeweddings3906]

Amal is a hero. Grateful there are people like her speaking up and fighting for the victims of Isis. I am not sure how this victim of this horrible crimes can stomach the unresponsiveness of the UN.

[@justcece5709]

Amal, you are nothing short of amazing and Nadia, you are one courageous woman!! Many blessings to both!

[@sealife22]

what a brave young woman nadia is... I applaud her..sick.amimals those.Isis

[@HolidayGolightlyify]

sealife22 They are following the "holy" Islamic texts. Of course they are sick but so is real Islam and its prophet, the pedophile Muhammad.

[@yeshwant5875]

HolidayGolightlyify yes bro. I wish more people could understand this one simple thing before it's too late

[@adwaitab.3622]

These people are disgracing their own religion

[@HolidayGolightlyify]

@@adwaitab.3622 No. Actually, it is Muslims who are good people who show dignity and love, not Islam. Islam sanctions slavery. Many of Muslim scholars are open about it.

[@adamyahya4734]

HolidayGolightlyify. Excuse me? Please give me proof for your claims.

[@johnvines4875]

Thank you Amal for criticizing the world leaders on not doing anything. They should all invite you to their classified meetings and brief you on what they do and why they do it and whats the intention and what they are planning.

[@mrss.b3016]

This is terrifying to hear let alone having to physically go through it. I pray that there is a stop to this it's inhuman!

[@coldplaywroteyellowforme8177]

*I am ashamed as a human being that we have ignored their cries for help*

[@BrunosSquirrel]

4:00 I felt that. Authorities are not doing what they are supposed to do and I'm losing faith in the system everyday. Whenever someone tries to do anything about it, it's the same authorities that will stop that. It is disheartening. I've been silently crying listening to her speech for the injustices people all over the world have to live through. Something needs to change.

[@barrydonnachie1296]

My goes out to Nadia, so Brave after what she has been through. I hope those responsible are brought to justice for their crimes.

[@dabgr]

Holy S*t I can only aspire to be so smart and eloquent.

[@face-in-the-crowd]

:( so sad. Poor girl. How will she ever recover?

[@TheFrenchLady79]

Ali Pali she will never but she as stronger than ever

[@alexhunter72]

Nadia Murad you are great women..

[@flavarz]

Inspiring. Thank you Amal and Nadia for sharing this story. The world leaders need to wake up, heed the call for justice.

[@mlufka101]

Poor people suffer too much. I’m so sorry for those women and children. God help them 🙏🏻

[@AnitaD28]

Beautiful classy woman inside and out. Thank you for your honorable work defending the defenseless.

[@Succeshero-yw1rl]

The UN should be ashamed if itself! North Korea for example is in it and votes with the other countries!! That says enough. Sickening

[@binboda]

I. Live strong Agreed. So is Turkmenistan - another dictatorship.

[@amybrown237]

Amal is absolutely incredible, the people she has represented are incredible and the work they do together is absolutely incredible. An inspiration to all

[@karensullivan2601]

Very moving and very brave. How can the UN not act?!

[@LeafInTheWind88]

Brought me to tears. Brave young lady Nadia is❤️

[@whitecanvas1565]

4:41 what a strange moment . They were clapping like it was some kind of entertainment. True people would either feel ashamed, angry or cry.

[@hase5468]

My thoughts exactly.

[@sunflower-oo1ff]

Thank you Amal . Don't read the stupid comments, only jealous people , ignorant and mean. You're awesome and i wish you the best for you and your husband and your new babies. xoxo

[@BJackson1]

I pray for her healing 🙏 Nobody deserves such cruelty.

[@farahsiddique6702]

LOVE AND RESPECT FROM LONDON

[@mikebrizeno4798]

Thank yoo mrs.clooney for assisting the angel of god, Nadia. Don't give up Nadia. Your name your voice will travel for thousands of years. I will follow you.

[@emeewel]

I'm sad, disturbed and deeply disappointed that this fight to bring justice still continues to this day. It's is unacceptable. I stand with you Nadia.

[@Veetina]

Her speech is so touching to the human soul it made me cry for what is happening to others who are abandoned by the world!

[@LauraMcCullough83]

What a compassionate, intelligent, beautiful amazing woman

[@gingerbeer914]

The messenger is prettier than the message... Many seem to be quite distracted by it. Try listening again with your eyes closed and wonder how this medieval barbarism can happen in 2016 without the UN doing anything about it! Since ISIS / IS declared themselves a STATE, any hostile act against a country or people is an ACT OF WAR. This means that all crimes committed within the frame of that war are WAR CRIMES, and should be treated as such by the UN. If you can get 9 years of imprisonment for destroying tombs during a war, the punishments for the (war) crimes mentioned by Amal should be MUCH MORE SEVERE than that. They should be so severe, but without making these criminals into martyrs of course, that they will keep Muslim(?) men from committing these crimes against humanity. I can only congratulate George with picking such a representative, independent and clever lady, and with the fact that she picked him too of course. I hope that some day all relationships in the world will be based on such a mutual agreement.

[@finnfigure]

Who will try the u.s. military, dumbfuck?!

[@vsmoonchildmahir283]

Those men aren't actually muslims by islamic law, no matter what they claim to be. However, I perfectly agree with you, ISIS members should be treated like war criminals

[@FS-rj4xo]

The members of ISIS are definitely not muslims. Their acts of injustice merely contradicts the true teachings of islam. Instead they exploit islam by altering it with their own inhumane beliefs and portray it in a bad light. Brainwashing people that by joining them to commit such foul actions, they will reap the rewards in the afterlife. Doing this is their main tactic.

[@diabloakland]

@@vsmoonchildmahir283 you’re wrong. Islamic sharia law allows this. I’m born Muslim. You are lying

[@libbiey-n7r]

My heart broke listening to this. How can there be such cruelty in the world?

[@carolwilliams3]

Both women are the most breathtaking examples of the highest level of humanity.

[@strandgirl1000]

She is setting next to Nadia - and it is very touching ... this suffering these women go through is unimaginable for us europeans! Hats off of so much courage & perseverance!

[@harshvardhanpathak6372]

Respect for the lawyer lady

[@ManojKumar-ed5yv]

any amount of praise is less for this lawyer she is working so hard for the freedom of the yazidis people. lots of respect and blessings for her.

[@mscurrie914]

And the men who hold high places must be the ones to start to mold a new reality closer to the heart

[@pm660]

Omg so muchshe has been through.... I hope that she will never ever shed a tear in her life again.

[@mimilajolie8179]

Oh God that's really sad what's happing to the world? really sad and scarey

[@Aavikaify]

Nadia, I am sorry you had to go through. I really hope those men will be punished and made to suffer. My prayers and support are with you.

What did the representatives from Egypt and Saudi Arabia have to say about this?

[@LB-gj1yd]

That breaks my heart!

Godspeed to you Amal! May justice for your courageous effort be greatly rewarded

[@kundannagpal5307]

deeply anguished by this tragic tale of woe, this unspeakable cruel face of inhumanity, and the unimaginable ordeal that these hapless Yazidies are undergoing. they are alone in this treacherous path and the indifferent world opinion needs to be nudged to raise from its oppressive slumber to rescue them at the earliest.
