Why It Matters
The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Navi Pillay for her work in the field of human rights, including her time at the International Criminal Court, where she participated in war crimes investigations.
US President Donald Trump imposed sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague in retaliation after the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to South African human rights activist and former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay. American political scientist Malek Dudakov stated this in a conversation with NSN.
Dudakov believes that the presentation of the Pillai Prize was a blow for the head of the White House. “The Nobel Committee decided, de facto, in defiance of Trump, to award the Nobel Peace Prize to a young lady who worked for a long time at the Hague Tribunal and, among other things, investigated Israeli war crimes in Palestine and the Gaza Strip. That is, of course, this is a blow to both Trump’s team and the Israeli lobby,” said the Americanist.
According to the political scientist, immediately after the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded, the White House announced the introduction of full-scale sanctions against the ICC.
