2026 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Navi Pillay’s commitment to universal legal principles and her firm moral compass are constants in a long career. Born into a family of Indian Tamil origin under apartheid in Durban, South Africa, Pillay became a lawyer and legal pioneer, confronting deep structural discrimination, segregation and exclusion. A common thread runs from her early work defending Nelson Mandela and others who stood up against apartheid to her service as a judge in some of the key international court cases of our time.
This year’s laureate has significantly enlarged the scope and impact of international law. She has served as a judge on the High Court in South Africa, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and the International Criminal Court. She was the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and, until recently, she chaired the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Today Navi Pillay is a judge on the International Court of Justice in the case where Myanmar stands accused of genocide.
In historic international court cases, she has shown that legal measures can help prevent acts of war and violence. Navi Pillay has also contributed to strengthen the institutions of international law. Her independence, expertise and steadfastness have made her one of the most respected international jurists of our time.

O Papa Leão parou a cidade de Paris! Cerca de 700 mil pessoas participam da missa na Place de la Concorde.
Antes da celebração eucarística, o Pontífice percorreu de papamóvel a famosa avenida dos Campos Elíseos (Champs-Élysées)
Visita del Papa León XIV a la Gruta de la Virgen de Lourdes, donde se postró en oración ante la imagen de la Inmaculada Concepción y le obsequió una rosa de oro.
LA FOTO DEL DÍA. PARÍS SE DETUVO.
Más de 700.000 personas gritando. El papamóvil avanzando.
Una niña con discapacidad, vestida de azul, es levantada por encima de la multitud. El papamóvil se detiene.
León XIV la mira, la abraza, le pone la mano en la cabeza y le susurra algo al oído.
Ella, que no podía hablar, parecía estarlo mirando como si mirara el cielo.
En plenos Campos Elíseos, el Papa nos recordó que la Iglesia no es una masa... Es un rostro, es la carne viva de Cristo... Es ella.
Cada vida cuenta.
😭❤️

Los testigos de la fe non proponen una ideología, sino que muestran una fe vivida en lo cotidiano. Su credibilidad surge de la coherencia entre las palabras y las acciones, una coherencia que a menudo llega hasta el sacrificio supremo. En contextos culturales indiferentes, la “santidad de la puerta de al lado” y el heroísmo silencioso se convierten en argumentos significativos, capaces de interpelar a todos, incluso a los más recelosos.
