"Today’s Nobel Peace Prize award to Navi Pillay is a solid and timely choice by the Nobel Committee. It highlights how a stable and legal world order is necessary to promote peace, and puts accountability at the centre of peace processes. At a time when these legal frameworks are under increasing pressure, this prize sends a clear message that peace depends not only on political leadership, but on strong, credible international institutions and the courageous people who dedicate their lives to defending them." Haakon Gjerløw, PRIO Acting Director
