Remember now:
Refugee law is part of international law.
Y’all can’t be celebrating her prize AND trying to chop through the doors of the Constitutional Court with machetes because its judges tell Home Affairs to process asylum applications properly.
“Let me dedicate this award to all of the survivors of international crimes as well as to practitioners and defenders of international justice whose passion and courage continue to ensure that impunity will not be allowed to reign.”
Today Navi Pillay, judge and human rights defender, was awarded the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize for her tireless dedication to upholding international law.
