On the occasion of Nelson Mandela International Day, and following the recent successful premiere of the film “One Humanity”, Ciné-ONU Geneva invites you to a special screening of this powerful documentary on 18 July 2014 at 5.00 p.m. in Room XVII at the Palais des Nations.
The film, which will be shown in its original English version, tells the story of how the world came to focus on the ending of the apartheid regime in South Africa through two star-studded concerts that were broadcast around the world.
Mr. Michael Møller, Acting Director-General of the UN Office at Geneva (UNOG); Ms. Navi Pillay, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, and Ambassador Abdul Samad Minty, Permanent Representative of South Africa to the UN in Geneva, will address the event.
The screening will be followed by a debate on the issues of the global fight against apartheid, which will also feature Andrea Bianchi, Professor of International Law at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies.
Please register at cineONU@unog.ch.
Ciné ONU Geneva, a joint initiative of UNOG and the Graduate Institute, consists of bi-monthly film screenings followed by expert-led debates, aimed at raising awareness of priorities on the international agenda among local audiences, and strengthening the profile of International Geneva.
