Navi Pillay – a South African jurist, former judge on the Rwanda Tribunal, former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and currently judge at the International Court of Justice – has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

Professor Milena Sterio, the Director of CSU Law’s International Law Center, interviewed Navi Pillay in 2024 in a webinar hosted by the American Branch of the International Law Association. The webinar is available here.

According to the Nobel Prize Organization, “In historic international court cases, she has shown that legal measures can help prevent acts of war and violence. Navi Pillay has also contributed to strengthen the institutions of international law. Her independence, expertise and steadfastness have made her one of the most respected international jurists of our time.”
