Nobel Peace Prize awarded to former International Criminal Court judge Navanethem Pillay
- On Friday, the Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize to South African judge Navanethem 'Navi' Pillay, recognizing her efforts to promote peace and international law.
- Chair Jorgen Watne Frydnes cited a 'common thread' from Pillay's early work defending Nelson Mandela against apartheid to her service as a judge in key international court cases.
- Pillay, 85, previously served as the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights from 2008 to 2014, joining just 20 women among 112 individual laureates.
- This year marks the 125th anniversary of the Nobel Peace Prize, which includes a cash award of 12 million Swedish krona, or about $1.2 million, presented in Oslo on December 10.
- Last year, Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado won the prize; since 1901, the award has honored 112 individuals and 28 separate institutions, including the Red Cross.
