(opens the publisher’s site)The Norwegian Nobel Committee has awarded the 2026 Peace Prize to Navi Pillay, former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, for her work advancing international law and human rights.
- The Norwegian Nobel Committee announced the prize for Pillay, a South African lawyer who defended anti-apartheid activists and served as a judge and UN High Commissioner for Human Rights from 2008 to 2014.
- UN Secretary-General António Guterres congratulated Pillay, saying she has been an advocate for international law and an independent voice for justice for decades.
- Pillay chaired the UN commission on the occupied Palestinian territory, whose September 2025 report concluded that Israel committed genocide in Gaza.
- ICC President Tomoko Akane said the award recognizes international justice as a pillar of peace, while UN Human Rights Commissioner Volker Türk called the win a collective victory for human rights.
- Türk said the prize carries particular significance at a time when human rights are under attack on many fronts, including by parties wielding enormous influence.
- African Union Commission Chairperson Mahmoud Ali Youssef congratulated Pillay, praising her journey from anti-apartheid activism and calling the award a source of pride for Africa.
