Abstract
The late Nelson Mandela is regarded as a unique example of universal humaneness in the late 20th and early 21st century. He is endeared as an important political and historical figure whose legacy represents a beacon of hope in a deeply fragile, violent, and fragmented global world. For many individuals, organisations, and national governments, this legacy has become the moral compass to follow for durable and just solutions to complex conflicts.
