STORYLINE:
The UN General Assembly today (19 December) paid tribute to the life and memory of Nelson Mandela, who passed away on 5 December at the age of 95. The event was attended by High UN officials and Member States representatives.
Speaking to the members of the General Assembly, the Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon pointed out that “from its earliest days, the General Assembly took on the poison of racial discrimination in South Africa”.

“Through the years, the Assembly used every tool including sanctions, embargoes, and diplomatic isolation, to bring about change. A Special Committee against Apartheid, supported by UN Centre against Apartheid and a Trust Fund, provided crucial support. We refused to relent’.
Ban said that Nelson Mandela’s extraordinary life “showed that tyranny and oppression never have the last word. Justice triumphs in the end.”
SOUNDBITE (English) UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon:
“I can understand when some say we will never see his like again. But I see it differently. Because whenever people stand up for human rights; wherever people speak out for freedom and reach out for reconciliation – there is Nelson Mandela”.
Ban stressed that “it is our duty to build a better world that he showed is within our grasp”.
For his part, the president of the 68th General Assembly, John W. Ashe, recalled that during the winter of 1964, Mandela was confined to a cell where he would spend 18 years, with a bucket for a toilet and forced to do hard labour in a quarry.
SOUNDBITE (English) President of the General Assembly, Johan W. Ashe:
“He was allowed jus one visitor a year for 30 minutes, and could write and receive just one letter every six months. And yet, that prisoner in that jail cell on that desolate island became a lasting symbol of his country’s struggle against the cruel and unjust system of apartheid”.
Ashe added “that prisoner when released by his captors became a global leader and beacon of hope in the larger struggle against injustice, intolerance, cruelty and vengeance.
He underscored that that struggle goes on – in both the most profound global challenges, as well in the conflicts of daily life felt by millions of poor and marginalized peoples and communities in the world today.
In November 2009, the UN General Assembly declared 18 July, Mandela's birthday, "Nelson Mandela International Day" in recognition of the former South African President's contribution to the culture of peace and freedom.
The General Assembly resolution recognizes Nelson Mandela's values and his dedication to the service of humanity, in the fields of conflict resolution, race relations, the promotion and protection of human rights, reconciliation, gender equality and the rights of children and other vulnerable groups, as well as the upliftment of poor and underdeveloped communities.
It also acknowledges Mandela's contribution to the struggle for democracy internationally and the promotion of a culture of peace.
