PRIOs Haakon Gjerløw og Marianne Dahl skriver i @DN_no om hvorfor årets fredspris til Navi Pillay handler om mer enn forholdet mellom Norge og USA. De løfter fram betydningen av folkerett, internasjonale domstoler og uavhengige institusjoner i en tid med økende geopolitisk spenning. 💬 «Navi Pillay har viet livet til å bygge uavhengige institusjoner der ingen står over loven.

PRIO Acting Director Haakon Gjerløw tells The Washington Post that the U.S. sanctions against the International Criminal Court announced on the same day Navi Pillay was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize “underscores exactly why this award matters.” “The Nobel Committee has sent a clear message that international law and the institutions that defend it remain essential pillars of a peaceful world. It is a brave decision by the Committee, and a worryingly bullying reaction.” washingtonpost.com/politics/…
