In 2009, the @UN adopted 18 July as Nelson Mandela International Day, recognizing his lifelong commitment to conflict resolution, human rights, democracy and service to humanity.
Who is Nelson Mandela?
Born on 18 July 1918, he devoted his life to the struggle against apartheid. Mandela fought a strict system of institutionalized racial segregation and political oppression in South Africa from 1948 to the early 1990s.

The death penalty does not deliver justice.
It is an inhumane form of punishment, puts innocent lives at risk, and has no place in the 21st century.
I remain fully committed to the universal abolition of the death penalty – firmly & without exception.
