After learning she had been awarded the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, former U.N. human rights chief and South African jurist Navanethem "Navi" Pillay playfully taunted President Donald Trump. Pillay, 85, was in Nuremberg, Germany, where she learned of the news during a forum that took place in the same city where Nazi war criminals were tried post-World War II.
She made her comment in jest to her supporters, joking that if they clapped harder, she might share the prize with Trump. The Nobel Prize Committee deemed Pillay the winner due to her unwavering commitment to promoting international law, particularly at a time when the rule of law faced significant threats and attacks.
