This year\u2019s laureate has been instrumental in ensuring that war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide are prosecuted. \n The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2026 to Navanethem \u201cNavi\u201c Pillay for her efforts to promote peace and international law.\n Navi Pillay\u2019s commitment to universal legal principles and her firm moral compass are constants in a long career. Born into a family of Indian Tamil origin under apartheid in Durban, South Africa, Pillay became a lawyer and legal pioneer, confronting deep structural discrimination, segregation and exclusion. \n A common thread runs from her early work defending Nelson Mandela and others who stood up against apartheid to her service as a judge in some of the key international court cases of our time.\u201d\nKey events4m ago'Richly earned and lavishly justified,' retired South African constitutional court justice says8m ago'Why would you need courage to speak the truth?,' surprised Pillay says in impromptu speech to associates16m ago'If you clap a little bit more I may share this prize with Trump,' Pillay jokes18m ago'Few have devoted their lives to justice, peace and human dignity' like Pillay, von der Leyen says36m ago'Amazing news,' UN human rights office reacts to Pillay's win50m agoPrize 'a message to those who are attacking, undermining international system and its institutions,' Nobel chair says1h ago'If you see a Norwegian number calling, please pick up,' Nobel committee chair tells peace prize winner1h agoNobel committee's decision backing for system of international law 'under tremendous pressure'1h ago'Legal measures can help prevent acts of war and violence,' Nobel committee says1h agoPillay 'instrumental in ensuring war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide are prosecuted,' Nobel committee chair says1h agoSouth African jurist Navanethem \u201cNavi\u201c Pillay wins the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize.1h ago2026 Nobel Peace Prize announcement - watch live2h ago30 minutes to go2h agoOne hour to go3h agoMorning opening: Who will win the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize?'Richly earned and lavishly justified,' retired South African constitutional court justice saysRachel SavageSouthern Africa correspondentEdwin Cameron, a retired South African constitutional court justice, who is also known for his activism for LGBTQ+ rights and people living with HIV/Aids:\n \u201cThe award is richly earned and lavishly justified. \n It comes at a painful time in our national life. As elsewhere, we have been wrecked by anguish about cross-border migration. This has led to hate-filled anti-migrant xenophobic movements distributing toxic untruths about cross-border migration. The result is that families, mothers, babies, traders, workers, have been terrorised, and many forced to flee. \n The award of the Prize to Navi Pillay re-emphasises that the Prize embodies an international aspiration to peace, and to respect and understanding across borders \u2013 and that leaders of great stature in our country (Tutu, Mandela, now Pillay) are recognised outside it, on the international stage. \n This may help reset our national debate on South Africa\u2019s position in the region, and in Africa.\u201d\n'Why would you need courage to speak the truth?,' surprised Pillay says in impromptu speech to associatesLooking visibly amused by the decision in the video, Pillay repeatedly asks if that\u2019s even true, as she says someone called her up and she thought it was a joke.(She gets reassured that it\u2019s on the BBC, so it must be true.)\n \u201cYour applause means victory, really. You don\u2019t want to receive an award, prize or anything unless the public agrees that you deserve this. So that. That\u2019s how I appreciate your applause today.\u201d\n\u201cBut being a lawyer and a judge I still want to verify,\u201d she laughs.She says it is \u201cvery appropriate\u201d that she is with her \u201cgood friends, all of whom support human rights,\u201d as she references her last big thing, the delivery of the UN inquiry report on Gaza, which called it an ongoing genocide.She explains:\n \u201cOne of the main reactions to that \u2026 was paying tribute to me for my courage.\n And you can imagine how surprised I was. Why would you need courage to speak the truth? You interpret the law, you look at all the facts, so it\u2019s an impartial decision making.\u201d\nShe continued:\n \u201cSo right now, I\u2019m still involved as head judge in the case brought by the Gambia against Myanmar. So everybody says when you going to stop, when are you going to stop? I just turned 85 just last month. I can\u2019t obviously stop my work in support of the Nuremberg Principles, because of the people we meet here.\u201d\nShe ends laughing: \u201cYou know, I hope this is not a joke!\u201d'If you clap a little bit more I may share this prize with Trump,' Pillay jokesIn a hilarious video posted by Amnesty International\u2019s secretary general Agnes Callamar and showing the moment Pillay found out about the award, her associates applaud her as she walks into the room in disbelief, before joking:\n double quotation markIf you clap a little bit more I may share this prize with Trump.\nOuch.This will sting.'Few have devoted their lives to justice, peace and human dignity' like Pillay, von der Leyen saysEuropean Commission president Ursula von der Leyen said \u201cfew have devoted their lives to justice, peace, and human dignity\u201d like Navi Pillay, as she congratulated her on the win.von der Leyen said:\n \u201cCongratulations to lawyer and human rights activist Navanethem \u201cNavi\u201d Pillay on her Nobel Peace Prize. \n Few have devoted their lives to justice, peace and human dignity like she did. \n From the violence of apartheid in South Africa to the horrors of the Rwandan genocide, she has confronted some of humanity\u2019s darkest chapters. \n She has looked the brutality of injustice in the eye and never looked away. She is the defender of the persecuted, the vulnerable, the voiceless and the excluded. Of the rule of law over the right of might. \n In a world that needs justice more than ever, her courage and moral clarity are a precious compass.\u201d\n'Amazing news,' UN human rights office reacts to Pillay's winThe \u2060United Nations human rights office welcomed the news \u2060of Navi Pillay\u2019s \u2060Nobel Peace \u200bPrize win, acknowledging her longstanding advocacy for human rights, as reported by Reuters.\u201cIt is \u2060amazing news, we need more dedication and commitment to human rights,\u201d Shabia \u2060Mantoo, spokesperson for the UN human rights \u200boffice, told reporters \u200cin Geneva.\u201cWe hope it will encourage and continue \u200bto \u200bencourage and inspire others \u200bto speak out in protection \u200band promotion \u200cof the human \u200brights \u200bof all people around the world,\u201d Mantoo said in reaction to Pillay\u2019s win.And that ends the presentation.Anyone\u2019s got Pillay\u2019s phone number? Asking for a Norwegian friend.Prize 'a message to those who are attacking, undermining international system and its institutions,' Nobel chair saysJ\u00f8rgen Watne Frydnes gets repeatedly asked why the award was given to a person, and not an international court or other broader body.He repeatedly says Pilay has been \u201cat the forefront of the development of international law for decades, up until this day,\u201d and is the right recipient.\n \u201cThis is a message that international law and its institutions are the cornerstone of a more peaceful world. So of course, we hope that this prize also will strengthen the institutions, the individuals, not only Navi Pillay, but particularly her.\u201d\nHe says she is \u201cone of the most courageous and important legal experts of our time.\u201dHe gets pushed on whether the award sends a message to those who question or sanction international courts, including the International Court of Justice.It\u2019s may sound innocent, but it\u2019s a very specific question as the international court of justice has faced direct pressure and sanction threats from the US, among others.J\u00f8rgen Watne Frydnes doesn\u2019t miss a beat when he answers:\n \u201cThis is definitely a message to those who are attacking, undermin[ing] the international system, the international rules-based system and the institutions. \n Absolutely.\u201d\n'If you see a Norwegian number calling, please pick up,' Nobel committee chair tells peace prize winnerNobel committee\u2019s J\u00f8rgen Watne Frydnes now answers some questions.Amazingly, he says the committee has not been able to reach Pillay.He says:\n \u201cIf you see a Norwegian number calling, please pick up. I would love to talk to you very soon.\u201d\nAnd that\u2019s the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize winner, Navi Pillay:Chair of the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel, South African judge Navi Pillay, gestures after a press conference in Geneva last year. Photograph: Fabrice Coffrini/AFP/Getty ImagesNobel committee's decision backing for system of international law 'under tremendous pressure'Explaining the decision, Nobel committee\u2019s J\u00f8rgen Watne Frydnes says \u201cthe system of international law is under tremendous pressure, and its institutions are under attack.\u201d\n \u201cWe see a shift towards power politics at the expense of legal frameworks and global respects for law and justice. Whenever might overtakes right, it undermines stability, trust and peaceful coexistence. \n In awarding this year\u2019s Nobel Peace Prize, the Norwegian Nobel Committee wants to remind the world that the rule of law, national and international, underpins the system we have set up to ensure peace and resolve conflicts non-violently.\n Peace requires justice.\n History has shown that a world operating without the rule of law is unjust, unwise and inhumane. The judges, those who guard the thin red line between order and chaos, are therefore highly deserving of our praise. \n But today, as these same judges are sanctioned and their institutions are under attack, we need people of courage, vision and determination \u2013 qualities that Navi Pillay demonstrates in her work on the bench.\nHe continues by saying:\n \u201cNavi Pillay has held states and national leaders accountable and brought hope to the victims of violence and conflict. \n In all the positions she has held, she has stressed the responsibility of individuals and states to comply with the rule of law. She has also helped define the relevant norms and legal principles when the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda established that rape and sexual violence could constitute a crime against humanity as well as genocide.\n Her influence was a significant factor. In the same case, Miss Pillay was instrumental in a separate legal breakthrough. For the first time, a defendant faced charges of incitement to commit genocide purely on the basis of spreading propaganda.\u201d\nHe wraps up:\n \u201cThe Nobel Peace Prize for 2026 springs directly from Alfred Nobel\u2019s will. Navi Pillay strengthens fraternity between nations and by systematically advancing the use of tribunals for peace and justice, she provides substance, direction and motivation for peace conferences in their modern form. \n Navi Pillay is one of the great defenders of international legal principles in our time. \n Her distinguished career reminds us of the need to support, fortify and expand the global rule of law. Navi Pillay\u2019s commitment to justice and human dignity is a source of hope and inspiration to all those who seek to bring about a more peaceful world.\u201d\n'Legal measures can help prevent acts of war and violence,' Nobel committee saysHe continues:\n \u201cThis year\u2019s laureate has significantly enlarged the scope and impact of international law. \n She has served as a judge on the High Court in South Africa, the International Criminal Tribunal of Rwanda and the International Criminal Court. She was the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, and until recently she chaired the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory. \n Today, Navi Pillay is a judge on the International Court of Justice in the case where Myanmar stands accused of genocide. \n In historic international court cases, she has shown that legal measures can help prevent acts of war and violence. \n Navi Pillay has also contributed to strengthen the institutions of international law. Her independence, her expertise and steadfastness have made her one of the most respected international jurists of our time.\u201d\nPillay 'instrumental in ensuring war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide are prosecuted,' Nobel committee chair saysPresenting the winner, J\u00f8rgen Watne Frydnes says:\n \u201cThe Nobel Peace Prize for 2026 goes to a person who, with exceptional courage and integrity, has led the way towards a more comprehensive global legal order.
