  "account": "The Nobel Peace Prize for 2025 was awarded to South Africa's Navi Pillay, a renowned rights advocate and former judge who led the Rwanda genocide tribunal and presided over a UN commission accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza. Pillay, currently a judge at the International Court of Justice, has been instrumental in ensuring the prosecution of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. In response to the news, she joked about US President Donald Trump's desire to win the prize himself. The Nobel Committee praised Pillay for her commitment to universal legal principles and her unwavering moral compass, emphasizing the importance of international law at a time when it is under tremendous pressure and attack.",
  "summary": "The Nobel jury said it was honouring Navi Pillay at a time when international law and its institutions were under immense pressure.",
