Nobel Peace Prize 2026: Navneetam Navi Pille Becomes 21st Female Laureate

This year, the Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to Navneetam Navi Pille. The Nobel Prize Committee will honor her for her contributions to peace and the promotion of international law. Pille is the 21st woman to receive this prestigious award.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has publicly declared himself a worthy candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize. He has expressed his aspiration for the award in previous years as well. In the same year, Venezuelan pro-democracy leader María Corina Machado was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

Since 1901, the prize has been announced 107 times in total. Donald Trump showed a strong interest in the Nobel Peace Prize even before becoming U.S. President. He reacted notably when then-President Barack Obama received the prize in 2009.
