Message from Ms Irina Bokova, Director-General of UNESCO on the occasion of Nelson Mandela International Day 2016
We celebrate Nelson Mandela International Day every year to shine light on the legacy of a man who changed the 20th century and helped shape the 21st.
This is a moment for all to renew with the values that inspired Nelson Mandela. Absolute determination. A deep commitment to justice, human rights and fundamental freedoms. A profound belief in the equality and dignity of every woman and man. A relentless engagement for dialogue and solidarity across all lines and divisions.
Nelson Mandela was a great statesman, a fierce advocate for equality, the founding father of peace in South Africa.
