Nobel Peace Prize Awarded to Navi Pillay Amid Trump’s Criticism and Claims
The 2026 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to South African jurist Navi Pillay for her work promoting international law and prosecuting war crimes. Pillay humorously suggested sharing the prize with US President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly claimed he deserved the award for resolving multiple conflicts, including the India-Pakistan ceasefire. Trump criticized the Nobel Committee's decision, calling it a disgrace and questioning Pillay's credentials, while Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif supported Trump's nomination. India has denied Trump's mediation claims in the India-Pakistan conflict.
