On the right is Lawyer Amal Clooney. Next to Mrs Clooney is her client Nadia Murad, a human rights activist who survived being raped and enslaved by Daesh terrorists (Ms Murad testified to Congress last year about the horrors of living under Daesh).

Mrs Clooney has urged the UN to act against Daesh by backing a UK-led investigation into the group's atrocities in Iraq.

Speaking at the UN, Mrs Clooney said Daesh had declared it will "destroy" the country's Yazidi ethnic group through murder, rape and forced conversions.

The British-Lebanese human rights lawyer said Daesh was also attacking Christians, and Shia and Sunni Muslims.

Mrs Clooney, who is based in London, accused the UN of "inaction".

She said: "The UN was created as the world's way of saying 'never again' to the genocide perpetrated by the Nazis.

"And yet here we are, 70 years later, discussing the UN's inaction in the face of a genocide that we all know about, and that is ongoing."

The UK is drafting a Security Council resolution to establish a UN investigation, but Mrs Clooney said the Iraqi government needs to send a letter formally requesting the inquiry before the 15-member council can vote.

Mrs Clooney and Ms Murad were both on Fareed Zakaria GPS (CNN) earlier about their attempts to get Daesh to answer for their crimes in an international court of law.
But both admitted this process could take a long time - the UN are still investigating the Khmer Rouge's crimes against humanity....
