  "account": "South African human rights advocate Navi Pillay jokingly suggested she might share her Nobel Peace Prize with US President Donald Trump following her recent award, as tributes poured in from international leaders. \"If you clap a little bit more I may share this prize with Trump,\" Pillay remarked in a video posted by Amnesty International Secretary General. The award recognized Pillay's efforts against war crimes and crimes against humanity, including her work on Rwanda's genocide tribunal and chairing a UN commission that accused Israel of genocide in Gaza. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen praised Pillay for confronting \"some of humanity's darkest chapters\". U.N. Human Rights Commissioner Volker Türk called the award a reaffirmation of the importance of human rights and the rule of law. The International Criminal Court President, Tomoko Akane, emphasized the significance of the recognition amid threats to the international legal order.",
