Mr. Even H. Eriksen, member of the Norwegian Parliament, wrote an interesting article on the proposal of nomination of the International Association of Judges (IAJ) for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, highlighting the crucial role of judges in safeguarding peace through the rule of law.
In this article he explains why the work of the IAJ deserves international recognition, and why judicial independence must be seen as a cornerstone of peace.
In a global context marked by conflicts and growing pressure on judicial independence, the nomination aims to recognize the contribution of judges to stability, accountability, and the protection of fundamental rights.
