Navi Pillay, 85, wins 2026 Nobel Peace Prize for advancing international law. Her work on genocide and human rights sparks global debate.
Pillay, former UN human rights chief, led inquiry into Gaza genocide. Israel rejects findings, calling award 'scandalous' and 'weaponized.' She also served on International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda.
Norwegian Nobel Committee highlights law's role in peace. Pillay's award underscores need for international criminal accountability. Israel condemns prize as ' legitimising anti-Israel hatred.'
Pillay jokes about sharing prize with Trump, citing her career in South Africa and UN roles. She dedicates award to crime survivors, stressing legal obligation to protect human rights.
