A committed human rights advocate, actor, director, writer and producer George Clooney used his global appeal to focus public attention and support for United Nations peacekeeping efforts around the world.
In September 2006, Mr. Clooney spoke to members of the United Nations Security Council at an out-of-session meeting to help mobilize political action against the violence in Darfur.
In April 2007, Mr. Clooney co-founded Not On Our Watch, a non-profit organization using influential people in the arts to capture global attention and resources as a way to combat mass atrocities around the world. The organization’s first priority is to help bring about a resolution to the Darfur crisis.
