In awarding this year’s Nobel Peace Prize, the Norwegian Nobel Committee wants to remind the world that the rule of law – national and international – underpins the system we have set up to ensure peace and resolve conflicts non-violently. Peace requires justice.

History has shown that a world operating without the rule of law is unjust, unwise and inhumane. The judges – those who guard the thin red line between order and chaos – are therefore highly deserving of our praise. But today, as these same judges are sanctioned, and their institutions are attacked, we need people of courage, vision and determination – qualities that 2026 peace laureate Navi Pillay demonstrates in her work on the bench.

Navi Pillay has held states and national leaders accountable and brought hope to victims of violence and conflict. In all the positions she has held, she has stressed the responsibility of individuals and states to comply with the rule of law. She has also helped define the relevant norms and legal principles. When the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda established that r**e and sexual violence could constitute a crime against humanity – as well as genocide – her influence was a significant factor. In the same case, Ms Pillay was instrumental in a separate legal breakthrough: for the first time, a defendant faced charges of incitement to commit genocide purely on the basis of spreading propaganda.

The Nobel Peace Prize for 2026 springs directly from Alfred Nobel’s will. Navi Pillay strengthens fraternity between nations and – by systematically advancing the use of tribunals for peace and justice – she provides substance, direction and motivation for peace conferences in their modern form.

Recognising injustice is only the beginning. Knowing where to turn, whom to speak to and how to take the first step can be the harder part.

For communities in Turkana and across the wider Ateker region, rights on paper must become rights people can use.

Complex procedures, unfamiliar legal language and the cost of legal help can put justice out of reach. Silence in the face of injustice is not consent. It can mean someone sees no safe or affordable way to challenge it.

When that silence persists, abuse goes unchecked and power escapes accountability.

At Article 43 International, grassroots legal empowerment means putting knowledge and practical support closer to communities: helping people understand their rights, supporting community paralegals and strengthening community-led paths to justice.

Justice should not depend on your income, your location or your command of legal language.

Our communities deserve to know their rights and have a real way to defend them.

The law matters most when people can use it.

At Article 43 International, we work with underserved communities across the Ateker region to make rights easier to understand and defend. Through grassroots legal empowerment, advocacy and public interest litigation, we support community-led paths to justice.

Sustainable development cannot exist where communities are legally invisible. In East and Horn of Africa, we have seen vulnerable communities lose their lands and territories because they could not enforce their rights. At Article 43, we do not separate legal empowerment from development. Justice and development are the same struggle.

We consider the law as the bridge that gets communities from exclusion to inclusion, from displacement to dignity, from voicelessness to self-determination. Real development starts when citizens can read a budget, challenge a flawed environmental assessment, and demand benefit-sharing from the resources under their feet. Until legal empowerment is treated as infrastructure as essential as roads and water, sustainable development will remain a promise unkept.
