  "summary": "South African jurist Navi Pillay has been awarded the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts to promote peace and international law. The Norwegian Nobel Committee announced the award on Oct. 9, citing Pillay's role in ensuring that war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide are prosecuted. The 85-year-old former United Nations high commissioner for human rights has served as a judge in South Africa and on international courts, and chaired a UN commission investigating alleged violations in the occupied Palestinian territory. Pillay's work has helped advance an international legal order in which individuals and states can be held accountable for serious abuses.",
