Jurist Navi Pillay, who led UN Gaza inquiry, wins 2026 Nobel Peace Prize
The Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize to South African jurist Navi Pillay for her efforts to promote peace and international law.
The committee said Pillay, 85, has “with exceptional courage and integrity led the way towards a more comprehensive global legal order” and has been instrumental in ensuring that war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide are prosecuted.
A former anti-apartheid lawyer, Rwanda tribunal judge, ICC judge and UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Pillay most recently chaired the UN commission of inquiry that concluded Israel committed genocide in Gaza. Israel’s Foreign Ministry called the award a “grotesque weaponisation.”
