Nelson Mandela International Day – Jamaica’s Message
On 10th December 2010, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution designating 18th July as Nelson Mandela International Day.
In so doing, the United Nations recognised the long history of Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela’s leading role in and support for Africa’s struggle for liberation and Africa’s unity, and his outstanding contribution to the creation of a non-racial, democratic South Africa.
