00:01Just days after the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Navi Pillai and the White House imposed fresh sanctions
00:10on the International Criminal Court, Pillai, the former UN Human Rights Chief, says the timing was no coincidence.
00:17I don't think they ever do anything spontaneously. They planned this, and I do believe myself, and many people share
00:26that view as well, because we had a chance to talk about it in Nuremberg, where I was, that it's
00:33not coincidental.
00:35It seems to be a reaction to the fact that the award was not given to the President of the
00:41United States.
00:42The South African jurist was awarded for advancing peace and international law. She's also defended Nelson Mandela and other anti
00:51-apartheid activists.
00:53We in South Africa under apartheid had no access to remedies to complain about these immoral, racist laws.
01:02We were told that's the law of the country. We were told so by white male judges as well. We
01:09only had white male judges in apartheid South Africa.
01:12And I always yearned for a system of values and principles.
01:21Trump, who has long coveted the Nobel, accused the committee of demeaning the prize by honoring Pillai.
01:27He has repeatedly claimed he deserves it despite starting the ongoing U.S.-Israel war on Iran.
