Ammon News - Navi Pillay, a former ICC judge who oversaw a UN report that concluded Israel committed ​genocide in Gaza, won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday "for her efforts to promote peace and international law".

Announcing the award hours before the US imposed sanctions on the International Criminal Court, the Nobel Committee said in ‌its citation that recognising Pillay underlined the importance of maintaining an organised international order.

The 85-year-old South African has been a judge on several international courts, including the ICC and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda.
