Navi Pillay Wins Nobel Peace Prize for International Justice Work

Filed · 3 publisher pages · upstream origin unresolved

Navi Pillay, 85, wins 2026 Nobel Peace Prize for promoting peace and international law. The award highlights the importance of maintaining an organized international order.

Pillay, a former International Criminal Court judge and UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, was praised for her work on Gaza and international justice. She chaired a UN commission that concluded Israel committed genocide in Gaza, a report Israel dismissed as 'scandalous'.

The Nobel Committee criticized Trump's attacks on the ICC, calling it a 'promotion of an international legal world order'. The prize, worth R20 million, will be awarded in Oslo on 10 December.

Trump criticized Norway's decision, calling it an 'indelible stain' and claiming he 'never heard' of Pillay, though the Nobel Committee clarified the prize cannot be transferred or shared.
