At a time when it feels like our governments leaders are increasingly lacking in humanity, ethics and morals, where do we turn to in order to find leaders and organisations who are committed to the greater good of all humanity, rather than just a select few? • • I recently heard about an organisation called The Elders. • • The Elders was founded by Nelson Mandela in 2007. • • We are an independent group of global leaders working for peace, justice, human rights and a sustainable planet. • • Our vision is a world where people live in peace, conscious of their common humanity and their shared responsibilities for each other, the planet and future generations; • • where there is universal respect for human rights; where poverty has been eliminated and people are free from fear and oppression, and able to fulfil their true potential • • I signed up for their newsletters some months ago and it's been refreshing reading the last few that have called on the UN to address the current geopolitical situation, as well as on the governance of AI. • • The current members of The Elders are: • • 👉🏾 Mary Robinson, former President of Ireland and Chair of The Elders • • 👉🏾 Ban Ki-moon, former UN Secretary-General and Deputy Chair of The Elders • • 👉🏾 Graça Machel, Founder of the Graça Machel Trust, Co-founder and Deputy Chair of The Elders • • 👉🏾 Gro Harlem Brundtland, former Prime Minister of Norway and former Director-General of the WHO • • 👉🏾 Helen Clark, former Prime Minister of New Zealand and former head of the UN Development Programme • • 👉🏾 Elbegdorj Tsakhia, former President and Prime Minister of Mongolia • • 👉🏾 Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights • • 👉🏾 Hina Jilani, Advocate of the Supreme Court of Pakistan and co-chair of the Taskforce on Justice • • 👉🏾 Denis Mukwege, physician and human rights advocate, Nobel Peace Laureate • • Former members include • • 👉🏾 Ela Bhatt • • 👉🏾 Desmond Tutu • • 👉🏾 Kofi Annan • • Check out the website and see what you think • • https://theelders.org/ • • #mindset #resilience
