The winner of the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize has been announced!

The Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize to former International Criminal Court (ICC) judge Navanethem "Navi" Pillay for his efforts to promote peace and international law.

In the statement made by the Prize Committee, it was said: "The 2026 Nobel Peace Prize is awarded to a person who has pioneered the path to a more comprehensive global legal order with extraordinary courage and honesty. This year's award winner, Navi Pillay, has played a key role in ensuring that war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide are brought to justice."

THERE IS ONLY AWARD LEFT

The winner of the last award in the series, the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, will be announced to the public on October 12.

This year, the prize money for the Nobel Prizes was set at 12 million Swedish crowns, regardless of whether the prize was awarded to a single person, a group or an organisation. This amount corresponds to approximately 1.09 million euros.

The awards will be presented to their winners at a ceremony to be held on December 10, one of the most important dates in the Nobel tradition. The date of the ceremony coincides with the death anniversary of Alfred Nobel, founder of the Nobel Prizes, Swedish industrialist and inventor of dynamite. Nobel died in 1896.
