Warmest congratulations to Navi Pillay on being awarded the #NobelPeacePrize. I have known and admired Navi for many years and this extraordinary honour is well-deserved.
It is a recognition of her tireless and courageous lifelong dedication to defending #humanrights and demanding accountability around the globe.
Beyond celebrating her personal legacy, this award serves as a powerful and urgent signal from the @NobelPrize Committee: a reminder of the critical risks facing human rights today, and the vital need to protect and uphold the international institutions that safeguard our shared humanity.
Thank you, Navi, for your unwavering justice and leadership!

Read the Secretary General of the Council of Europe, @alain_berset joint statement with EU High Representative @kajakallas.
The death penalty is a cruel and inhuman punishment. Let’s put an end to it.
Through the European Convention on Human Rights, we have eradicated the death penalty across almost the whole continent. The rest of the world should follow suit.
