Nobel Peace Laureate Defends International Justice as US Leaders Criticize It
The former judge defended the rule of law after the committee cited her work on Gaza and international courts.
- On Monday, South African-born jurist Navi Pillay confirmed receiving written notification of her Nobel Peace Prize, which was awarded last week for promoting international law at a time when the system faces attack.
- The Norwegian Nobel Committee honored the 85-year-old for her career defending human rights, including chairing a commission that concluded Israel was responsible for genocide in Gaza last year.
- Pillay's recognition serves as a rebuke to President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who have both criticized the International Criminal Court and International Court that employed her.
- Responding to recent hostility, Pillay called Washington's attacks on the International Criminal Court "completely unlawful" as well as "negative and cruel," urging global defense of international legal institutions.
- Marking the 125th anniversary of the prize, Pillay emphasized that peace requires justice, calling for "collective action, not just words" from nations to uphold the rule of law.
