The UN paid tribute on Monday to the life and legacy of the first democratically elected President of South Africa, the late Nelson Mandela, whose long walk to freedom during the racist apartheid era inspired people across the planet.

The celebration to mark Nelson Mandela International Day, observed annually on his birthday, 18 July, provides an opportunity for everyone to make a positive contribution by volunteering for 67 minutes - in honour of each year he fought for justice.
