Nobel Peace Prize Awarded to International Jurist Navi Pillay
Earlier this week, Trump said he deserved the award, but said, 'They have a reputation for maybe not giving it to people like me.'
International jurist Navi Pillay, originally from South Africa and a former U.N. human rights commissioner, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The Nobel committee chair cited her exceptional courage and integrity in advancing a global legal order and emphasized the importance of the rule of law for peaceful conflict resolution. This award comes days after U.S. President Donald Trump stated he believed he deserved the prize for ending wars.
