Jørgen Watne Frydnes, the chair of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, announced the award, praising Pillay's exceptional courage and integrity in leading the way towards a more comprehensive global legal order. This year, Pillay has played a crucial role in ensuring the prosecution of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. In September, the Nobel Foundation announced a significant increase in the prize money, raising it to SEK 12 million (approximately €1.07 million) in each category. This decision was made to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the Nobel Prize and to preserve the financial value of the award over time.",
