In a video posted to X by the Secretary General of Amnesty International, South African Nobel Peace Prize winner Navi Pillay joked that she might share her prize with US President Donald Trump. The video showed Pillay being applauded in Nuremberg following the announcement of the award. Pillay, 85, expressed surprise upon hearing the news, stating that she wanted to verify if it was a joke, given her background as a lawyer and judge.
She highlighted her role in leading the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry, which concluded that genocide was taking place in Gaza. Pillay recalled the delivery of her report on Gaza, which was met with tribute for her courage. The Nobel Peace Prize includes a gold medal, a diploma, and a cash award of US$1.2 million, to be presented at a formal ceremony in Oslo on December 10.
