Navi Pillay wins the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize; hours later the US sanctions the International Criminal Court
The Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the 2026 Peace Prize to South African jurist Navi Pillay, 85, a former UN human rights chief and ICC judge, "for her efforts to promote peace and international law". Within hours the Trump administration imposed sweeping sanctions on the International Criminal Court, which called the move an "assault on the rule of law". Donald Trump called the award "disgraceful" and said he should have won.
