Navi Pillay, former ICC judge and UN human rights official, won the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize for promoting peace and international law amid rising attacks on global legal institutions. Her work includes leading a UN inquiry that characterized actions by Israel in Gaza as genocide, amid geopolitical tensions and challenges to the international legal order.
