The 2025 Sydney Peace Prize is awarded to Judge Navi Pillay for a lifetime of advocating for fundamental human rights, peace with justice and the rights of women, all of which serves a clarion call in the face of a growing culture of impunity for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide, towards accountability and responsibility.

Judge Pillay is widely recognised for her unwavering commitment to defending fundamental human rights, promoting peace with justice, and championing the rights of women and marginalised communities.

Her life’s work has been a powerful force against the global rise in impunity for war crimes and crimes against humanity, pushing instead for accountability, the rule of law, and the protection of human dignity.
