South African human rights lawyer Noni Belela has won the Nobel Peace Prize while she is in Nuremberg, Germany, where the Nazi trials were held nearly 80 years ago. In her initial reaction to her win, she said she thought it was a joke and hinted that she might share the prize with Trump if the applause increased. The committee focused on honoring her work in strengthening international justice and defending the rule of law, despite the attacks faced by international legal institutions, especially from the United States, which imposed sanctions against her after she released reports on crimes in Gaza. Belela, who has held international legal positions and dedicated her life to defending human rights, highlighted the importance of international law in achieving peace, praising the efforts of judges and investigators who protect the legal system amid fierce attacks. Born in South Africa, she led cases against the apartheid regime and participated in the trials of bloodshed in Rwanda, emphasizing that justice is a fundamental condition for peace—something she expressed through the importance of valuing the law and the independence of international legal institutions.
