[0:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1gwbcigifzhI/en/navi-pillay-reacts-to-prize-and-discusses-gaza-and-human-rights?t=22) Bravo!

[0:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1gwbcigifzhI/en/navi-pillay-reacts-to-prize-and-discusses-gaza-and-human-rights?t=30) A speech. So, thank you very much. Thank you very much.

[0:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1gwbcigifzhI/en/navi-pillay-reacts-to-prize-and-discusses-gaza-and-human-rights?t=39) If you clap a little bit more, I may share this prize with, uh, Trump.

[0:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1gwbcigifzhI/en/navi-pillay-reacts-to-prize-and-discusses-gaza-and-human-rights?t=48) So, no, I don't know about this, so my question is, is it true?

[0:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1gwbcigifzhI/en/navi-pillay-reacts-to-prize-and-discusses-gaza-and-human-rights?t=53) It's not April Fool's. Yeah. Did you know about the teaching?

[0:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1gwbcigifzhI/en/navi-pillay-reacts-to-prize-and-discusses-gaza-and-human-rights?t=59) No, they called me... Christoph called me up now to tell me, and I said, "It must be a joke."

[1:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1gwbcigifzhI/en/navi-pillay-reacts-to-prize-and-discusses-gaza-and-human-rights?t=66) Only one BBC. Then it must be, it must be true.

[1:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1gwbcigifzhI/en/navi-pillay-reacts-to-prize-and-discusses-gaza-and-human-rights?t=72) No, no, it's everywhere. It's on the BBC. It's everywhere.

[1:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1gwbcigifzhI/en/navi-pillay-reacts-to-prize-and-discusses-gaza-and-human-rights?t=75) Ah. Because firstly, firstly, in-- at this venue, your applause means a great deal to me. Really.

[1:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1gwbcigifzhI/en/navi-pillay-reacts-to-prize-and-discusses-gaza-and-human-rights?t=83) You know, you don't want to receive an award prize or anything unless the public agrees that you deserve this.

[1:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1gwbcigifzhI/en/navi-pillay-reacts-to-prize-and-discusses-gaza-and-human-rights?t=91) So that-that's how I appreciate your applause today. Thank you so much.

[1:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1gwbcigifzhI/en/navi-pillay-reacts-to-prize-and-discusses-gaza-and-human-rights?t=94) But being a lawyer and a judge, I still want to verify this thing.

[1:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1gwbcigifzhI/en/navi-pillay-reacts-to-prize-and-discusses-gaza-and-human-rights?t=104) So what I mean to say, I think it's very appropriate that I'm with friends and colleagues, all of whom support human rights. Um, the last thing I did is the delivery of the report on Gaza, naming what's happening there as genocide.

[2:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1gwbcigifzhI/en/navi-pillay-reacts-to-prize-and-discusses-gaza-and-human-rights?t=122) Yeah. Bravo.

[2:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1gwbcigifzhI/en/navi-pillay-reacts-to-prize-and-discusses-gaza-and-human-rights?t=129) Thank you. Yeah. So, so one of the main reactions to that report is, uh, paying tribute to me for my courage, and you can imagine how surprised I was.

[2:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1gwbcigifzhI/en/navi-pillay-reacts-to-prize-and-discusses-gaza-and-human-rights?t=140) Why would you need courage to speak the truth? You interpret the law, you look at all the facts.

[2:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1gwbcigifzhI/en/navi-pillay-reacts-to-prize-and-discusses-gaza-and-human-rights?t=146) Uh, so it's an impash-- uh, you know, impartial decision-making.

[2:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1gwbcigifzhI/en/navi-pillay-reacts-to-prize-and-discusses-gaza-and-human-rights?t=151) Um, so right now, I'm still involved as ad hoc judge in the case brought by The Gambia against Myanmar.

[2:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1gwbcigifzhI/en/navi-pillay-reacts-to-prize-and-discusses-gaza-and-human-rights?t=160) So everybody says, "When are you gonna stop?

[2:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1gwbcigifzhI/en/navi-pillay-reacts-to-prize-and-discusses-gaza-and-human-rights?t=162) When are you gonna stop?" I just turned eighty-five last, last month here. Uh, I can't s-- obviously stop my work in support of the Nuremberg Principles Academy because of the people we meet here.

[2:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1gwbcigifzhI/en/navi-pillay-reacts-to-prize-and-discusses-gaza-and-human-rights?t=178) But really, thank you so much. You know, I hope this is not a joke then.

[3:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1gwbcigifzhI/en/navi-pillay-reacts-to-prize-and-discusses-gaza-and-human-rights?t=181) I'm so- Thank you. Thank you. Bravo! Bravo!
