  "account": "Nobel peace prize winner Navi Pillay, a champion of international law from South Africa, playfully suggested sharing the award with US President Donald Trump during a video posted by the Secretary-General of Amnesty International. The clip showed Pillay receiving applause in Nuremberg following the announcement of the prestigious accolade. Initially, the 85-year-old lawyer and judge expressed surprise and wanted to verify the news, as her first instinct was to believe it was a jest. Pillay, who headed the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry (COI) which found genocide occurring in Gaza last year, highlighted the emotional impact of her work. She noted that the report on Gaza earned her accolades for her courage, questioning why courage was necessary to speak the truth. The Nobel prize includes a gold medal, a diploma, and a monetary award of $1.2 million, to be presented on December 10 at a ceremony in Oslo, marking the anniversary of Alfred Nobel's death.",
  "summary": "Moments after she was announced as the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, Navi Pillay joked that she will share the prize with US leader, Donald Trump if people kept clapping for her.",
