🔻Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission: “Navi Pillay has faced cruel injustice up close, but has never turned away from it.” “She is an advocate for people who are persecuted and oppressed, for victims, for those whose voices are not heard, and for those who have been pushed to the margins.” “Few people have devoted their lives to ‘justice, peace and human dignity’ the way Navi Pillay has.”

Volker Türk, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights: “Navi Pillay receiving the Nobel Peace Prize is a collective victory for human rights.” “I extend my heartfelt congratulations to my sister, my elder sister, Navi Pillay, on this extraordinary prize—really, truly extraordinary.”

Agnes Callamard, Secretary General of Amnesty International: “Ms. Pillay’s selection to receive the Nobel Peace Prize is an inspiring choice.” “Her impressive record is evidence of her efforts and her commitment to international law and international justice.” “My dear Navi, congratulations.”
