South African judge and former UN human rights commissioner Navi Pillay has won the Nobel Peace Prize 2026. Pillay has been recognised for her "efforts to promote peace and international law", the Norwegian Nobel Committee said. She has become the fifth South African winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, with former President Nelson Mandela among past winners. In her impromptu acceptance speech at the International Nuremberg Principles Academy, Pillay said it's appropriate she found out about winning the Nobel Prize while with friends and colleagues who support human rights.
