ON INTERNATIONAL DAY, UN PAYS TRIBUTE TO NELSON MANDELA'S CONTRIBUTION
TO PUBLIC SERVICENew York, Jul 18 2013 9:00AMThe United Nations today
marks <"http://www.un.org/en/events/mandeladay/">Nelson Mandela
International Day, celebrating the South African leader's 95th
birthday and honouring his dedication to public service, social
justice and reconciliation, inspiring millions around the world.

To commemorate the Day, the UN is joining a call by the Nelson Mandela
Foundation to "Take Action, Inspire Change" to volunteer 67 minutes to
helping others by volunteering in a hospital, tutoring a child,
providing food for the homeless, or any other community service.

The "67-minutes" campaign is based on people devoting one minute of
their time for every year that Mr. Mandela devoted to public service,
as a human rights lawyer, a prisoner of conscience, an international
peacemaker and the first democratically-elected President of
post-apartheid South Africa.

This year, UN staff in New York will volunteer their time to help
rebuild homes destroyed by Hurricane Sandy last fall.

Also at Headquarters in New York, the General Assembly is holding a
special meeting to mark the Day. Speakers will include former United
States President Bill Clinton, Reverend Jesse Jackson, singer, actor
and social activist Harry Belafonte, and Andrew Mlangeni, a close
friend of Mr. Mandela who was imprisoned with him.

"This year's commemoration of Nelson Mandela International Day comes
at a moment of deep reflection on the life and work of Madiba, as the
universally revered leader remains in the hospital," said
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in his
<"http://www.un.org/sg/statements/?nid=6969">message for the Day.

"As we extend our best wishes to President Mandela on his 95th
birthday, let us also give tangible meaning to our feelings of concern
by taking action on behalf of others."

"The heart of Nelson Mandela International Day is good works for
people and the planet. Its theme…is meant to mobilize the human
family to do more to build a peaceful, sustainable and equitable
world," Mr. Ban said. "This is the best tribute we can pay to an
extraordinary man who embodies the highest values of humanity."

Mr. Ban added that at this difficult time, his thoughts and prayers
are with Mr. Mandela, his family and all the people of South Africa.

"We are united in admiration for a giant of our times," Mr. Ban added.
