📆Today, on Nelson Mandela Day, we honor the extraordinary legacy of Nelson Mandela, a global icon for #peace and #humanrights. In 1997, #WorldJuristAssociation President Lucio Ghia (GHIA Studio Legale Associato) promoted the awarding of the World Peace & Liberty Award to him in Cape Town, recognizing his tireless efforts and unwavering commitment to justice, equality, and liberty. Mandela's life and work continue to inspire us all to strive for a world where peace and human rights prevail. As we celebrate his legacy, let us remember his powerful words: "We can in fact change the world and make of it a better place". #MandelaDay #NelsonMandela #RuleofLaw
