Perhaps the most impressive fact to be gleamed from Amal Alamuddin’s background is that she stringently defends human rights. As a contributor to the United Nations, she served as council in many important discussions. She let her voice be heard when it came to U.N. usage of drones and she threw her hat into the ring when Julian Assange and Yulia Tymoshenko, former Ukrainian prime minister, needed help. Amal is also campaigning to help free ex Philippine president, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

Amal believes that Gloria’s continued imprisonment is an express violation of her human rights. Amal also served as a legal adviser to the King of Bahrain. No big deal, right? Whether or not you agree with her on these subjects, the fact that she is fighting so passionately for them must be a massive turn on for her future hubby. George has frequently campaigned for human rights and his political beliefs. Whether he makes his opinion known through film or his various humanitarian efforts, the fact that they share this in common is huge.
