[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Congratulations to lawyer and human rights activist Navanethem “Navi” Pillay on her Nobel Peace Prize.

Few have devoted their lives to justice, peace and human dignity like she did.

From the violence of apartheid in South Africa to the horrors of the Rwandan genocide, she has confronted some of humanity’s darkest chapters.

She has looked the brutality of injustice in the eye and never looked away.

She is the defender of the persecuted, the vulnerable, the voiceless and the excluded.

Of the rule of law over the right of might.

In a world that needs justice more than ever, her courage and moral clarity are a precious compass.

PRESIDENT RAMAPHOSA CONGRATULATES JUSTICE NAVI PILLAY AS LAUREATE OF THE 2026 NOBEL PEACE PRIZE

On behalf of the nation, President @CyrilRamaphosa extends his warm congratulations to Justice Navanethem “Navi” Pillay on being awarded the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts to promote peace and international law.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee has honoured Justice Pillay as “a person who, with exceptional courage and integrity, has led the way towards a more comprehensive legal order. This year’s laureate has been instrumental in ensuring that war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide are prosecuted.”

Justice Pillay is an ad hoc judge at the International Court of Justice, where she distinguished herself in the genocide case of The Gambia v Myanmar.

She was a pioneering defence attorney for anti-apartheid activists and leadership including Founding President Nelson Mandela.

Justice Pillay served as a judge and President of the Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda from 1999 to 2003 and served as a judge of the Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Court from 2003 to 2008.

Following her International Criminal Court tenure, Justice Pillay served as the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.

President Ramaphosa applauds the recognition afforded to Justice Pillay by the Norwegian Nobel Committee as a profound tribute to the veteran jurist’s courage, integrity and lifelong commitment to justice.

President Ramaphosa said: “Justice Pillay’s crowning as winner of the Nobel Prize allows us to celebrate the progressive contributions she has made to strengthen peace, uphold human dignity and bring hope in South Africa and to peoples globally.

“She has served humanity with principle and the belief that the world can and should be a better place.”

“The honour bestowed on her reminds us to build a society where every person, whatever their circumstances, can develop their abilities and contribute fully to our nation and the world.

“We are proud that Justice Pillay joins Chief Albert Luthuli, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, President Mandela and Former President FW de Klerk in highlighting the far-reaching impact of South Africans on peace, justice and the advancement of humanity.

“We congratulate Justice Pillay and wish her well as she continues to participate in various platforms to secure the rights and dignity of all people.”

Navi Pillay es una reconocida jurista sudafricana que ha dedicado su vida a perseguir la impunidad y defender a los débiles frente a los poderosos. Desde su país, desde la ONU y desde la Corte Penal Internacional.

Hoy, ha sido galardonada con el Nobel de la Paz.

Desde el Gobierno de España nos sumamos al reconocimiento, aplaudimos su labor y reiteramos, ahora más que nunca, nuestro apoyo a organismos internacionales que se encargan de velar por la paz.

The Nelson Mandela Foundation congratulates Navanethem Pillay on being awarded the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts to promote peace and international law.

Pillay has spent decades advancing justice, accountability and the protection of human rights.

Her career includes defending those who stood against apartheid, serving as a judge at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and as United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.

Her recognition is a significant moment for South Africa and for the broader struggle for justice and human dignity. Her lifelong commitment to these principles reflects the values Nelson Mandela championed and the work that remains necessary to realise a more just world.

We congratulate Navi Pillay on this honour and recognise a lifetime of work in pursuit of justice.
