Pillay, a South African judge and human rights champion, won the prize in recognition of her work against war crimes and crimes against humanity.
She previously headed the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, which does not speak on behalf of the world body, and which last year found that Israel was committing "genocide" in Gaza.
