We're honoured to share this interview with the recipient of former judge of the International Court and the recipient of the 2025 Sydney Peace Prize, Justice Navi Pillay.
Justice Pillay is a trailblazer for human rights and women in law, and has delivered historic judgements on sexual violence and genocide.
She is the former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and was recently Chair of the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
Justice Pillay shares so much in this interview, including how she cultivated a career in South Africa's apartheid, her relentless pursuit of justice, and some really important lessons on hope.
This interview was recorded over the phone with Angela Priestley during Justice Pillay’s time in Australia in early November, before she officially received the Sydney Peace Prize in Sydney.
