Navi Pillay, a South African jurist and former UN human rights chief, received the Nobel Peace Prize on October 9, 2026, for her leadership in promoting international justice. Her award follows a UN commission she directed, which concluded that Israel committed genocide in Gaza. This decision serves as a significant diplomatic rebuke to US President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who have publicly rejected the commission's findings and criticized the institutions where Pillay worked. The article was published by FRANCE 24's International Affairs Editor Philip Turle.
