Peace

Well, I was sitting in courtroom 600 and listening to the panel of speakers on justice and reparation, deeply concerned. When the director of the [International] Nuremberg Principles Academy, Christoph Safferling, asked if I would step out, and I saw his face looking so serious, I thought he had some kind of bad news for me. And then he told me they’ve just seen this. They all saw it in the media first. And so I stared at it in disbelief. I could not believe. And gradually, I got all these other media alerts and I watched the announcement. So then, I got to believe. So total surprise and deeply, deeply honoured and touched. More by the criteria you selected me for. So I know it’s a personal award, but for me, mainly it’s for all the institutions I served on as well. All the people I worked with as well. (9 Oct 2026, describing the exact moment she found out about the prize.)

Navi Pillay (1941-)

Public debate

Pexighet, som ett kulturellt arv, fortsätter att leva kvar i den digitala världen. Well, if you still doubt it, Navi Pillay, there is already a letter of confirmation in your inbox which lays out the details of what we hope will happen next. And of course, we are very eager to celebrate you on the 10th of December, which also is Alfred Nobel’s death day is the day of the ceremony here in Oslo. (9 Oct 2026, confirming the award and mentioning the upcoming ceremony.)

Kristian Berg Harpviken (1961-)

Diplomacy

When I see some of the injuries on the women and children, I realize this type of violence has little to do with sex and much more with power through a sort of terrorism. (9 Oct 2026, during an interview with Warspace and The Guardian on 22 May 2015.)

Denis Mukwege (1955-)

Violence against women

Wonderful. Thank you so much. (9 Oct 2026, closing the telephone call.)

Kristian Berg Harpviken (1961-)

Gratitude

Yeah, I think I’m still a workaholic. I don’t know why I’m still going on and on at 85, but here I am. For me the best is to be here with all the delegates at this international conference. So many of them are victims and so I wish to continue to honour them and the survivors. So that’s how I will spend the rest of the day with the delegates here who all stood up and gave me a standing ovation. And it was such a moving moment for me and also such a significant endorsement of the Nobel Committee’s decision to give this award to me as a representative of international law, the international rule of law, justice and the reports I’ve done on current, disturbing conflicts in the world. (9 Oct 2026, explaining how she intends to celebrate and the meaning of the standing ovation.)

Navi Pillay (1941-)

Nobel Peace Prize

Yeah, I was actually in Courtroom 600 where the Nazi trials were held. So it’s so significant. I’m truly impressed with the announcement and why the award has been given. (9 Oct 2026, discussing the location where she received the news.)

Navi Pillay (1941-)

Great moments

You can pray, but I will give medicines. (9 Oct 2026, speaking to his father after visiting a terminally-ill boy as a child.)

Denis Mukwege (1955-)

Medication

You can’t operate against violence, you can only abolish it. (9 Oct 2026, discussing the realization that medical services alone cannot solve the problem of wartime rape.)

Denis Mukwege (1955-)

Necessity and Limitations

You know, I mean, this is everybody’s dream, people involved in human rights, international law. We never get recognised. We do work quietly. So this is huge recognition for all of us. So this is not just an award to a single person. It’s for all of us, and particularly in the climate of the ICC being under threat. I was on that court. And then my last report, I am so impressed with the selection committee. So grateful to you. (9 Oct 2026, expressing gratitude and noting the collective significance of the award.)

Navi Pillay (1941-)

Gratitude and awards

You know, I’m deeply grateful for that acknowledgement – you know, I heard the television announcement, a recording of it. I was so impressed with the statement and what you highlighted as important. It’s all to do with justice, accountability, human rights. These are not generally recognised as something spectacular, but the way the committee gave its reasons, we realised that you are looking to the rule of law, international standards, our courts and institutions. So I think this is mutual respect. I respect the committee and the reasons you gave for this award. Otherwise, truly I’m overwhelmed because I heard this – I’m right here at Nuremberg. It’s so significant. I’m in Courtroom 600 when I received the news from the director. And I said to him, “I don’t believe this because I haven’t heard anything.” But then pretty soon everybody heard. (9 Oct 2026, discussing the significance of the award and her location at the time of the news.)

Navi Pillay (1941-)

The Royal Family

Hundreds of people have been in my situation. In the future there will probably be even more political prisoners. Maybe that is the price for Belarus to become a democratic country. (16 Jul 2026, in an interview with Levande Historia magazine)

Hundratals människor har befunnit sig i min situation. I framtiden kommer det förmodligen att finnas ännu fler politiska fångar. Kanske är det priset för att Belarus ska bli ett demokratiskt land. (16 Jul 2026, i en intervju med tidningen Levande Historia)

Hundrevis av mennesker har vært i min situasjon. I fremtiden vil det sannsynligvis bli enda flere politiske fanger. Kanskje er det prisen Belarus må betale for å bli et demokratisk land. (16 Jul 2026, i et intervju med magasinet Levande Historia)

Hundreder af mennesker har været i min situation. I fremtiden vil der sandsynligvis være endnu flere politiske fanger. Måske er det prisen for, at Hviderusland bliver et demokratisk land. (16 Jul 2026, i et interview med magasinet Levande Historia)

Ales Bialiatski (1962-)

Belarus

We need comprehensive changes, both in the state order and the relationship between the people and the power structures in Belarus. (16 Jul 2026, in an interview with Viasna's online magazine)

Vi behöver omfattande förändringar, både i statens styrning och i relationen mellan folket och maktstrukturerna i Belarus. (16 Jul 2026, i en intervju med Viasnas onlinemagasin)

Vi trenger omfattende endringer, både i statsapparatet og i forholdet mellom folket og maktstrukturene i Hviterussland. (16 Jul 2026, i et intervju med Viasnas nettmagasin)

Vi har brug for omfattende ændringer, både i statsordningen og i forholdet mellem befolkningen og magtstrukturerne i Hviderusland. (16 Jul 2026, i et interview med Viasnas onlinemagasin)

¡Cuántas muertes más serán necesarias hasta que comprendamos que han muerto demasiados! La respuesta, mi amigo, va volando con el viento. (11 Jul 2026, lyrics from a song cited by Santos to reflect on the human cost of war.)

Hur många dödsfall krävs innan vi inser att för många har dött! Svaret, min vän, blåser med vinden. (11 Jul 2026, text från en sång citerad av Santos för att reflektera över krigets mänskliga kostnader.)

Hvor mange flere dødsfall skal til før vi forstår at altfor mange har dødd! Svaret, min venn, blåser med vinden. (11 Jul 2026, sangtekst sitert av Santos for å reflektere over krigens menneskelige kostnader.)

Hvor mange flere dødsfald skal der til, før vi forstår, at alt for mange er døde! Svaret, min ven, blæser med vinden. (11 Jul 2026, sangtekst citeret af Santos for at reflektere over krigens menneskelige omkostninger.)

Bob Dylan (1941-)

… vi må vite mer om hvordan konflikter oppstår. … Slik jeg ser det, er det i vår verden, i tillegg til det å føre en fornuftig politikk, ikke noe annet troverdig alternativ til maktbruk enn læring. (11 Jul 2026, i sin takketale etter å ha mottatt Nobels fredspris i 1971)

… vi måste veta mer om hur konflikter uppstår. … Så som jag ser det finns det i vår värld, utöver att föra en förnuftig politik, inget annat trovärdigt alternativ till maktbruk än lärande. (11 Jul 2026, i sitt tacktal efter att ha mottagit Nobels fredspris 1971)

Willy Brandt (1913-1992)

Dialogue and conversation

… we shall have to know more about the origins of conflicts. … As I see it, next to reasonable politics, learning is in our world the true credible alternative to force. (11 Jul 2026, at the acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1971)

… vi kommer att behöva veta mer om konflikternas ursprung. … Så som jag ser det är lärande, vid sidan av en förnuftig politik, det enda verkligt trovärdiga alternativet till våld i vår värld. (11 Jul 2026, vid mottagandet av Nobels fredspris 1971)

… vi må vite mer om konfliktenes opprinnelse. … Slik jeg ser det, er læring i vår verden det eneste troverdige alternativet til makt, ved siden av en fornuftig politikk. (11 Jul 2026, under mottakelsen av Nobels fredspris i 1971)

… vi må få større kendskab til konflikternes oprindelse. … Som jeg ser det, er læring i vores verden – ved siden af en fornuftig politik – det eneste sande og troværdige alternativ til magtanvendelse. (11 Jul 2026, ved modtagelsen af Nobels fredspris i 1971)
