🌍 World Hepatitis Day – July 28

🌍 World Hepatitis Day – July 28



Today, July 28, is World Hepatitis Day. This day aims to raise global awareness about hepatitis, its prevention, testing, and treatment.

What is Hepatitis?

Hepatitis is a serious inflammation of the liver. It can be caused by viruses, toxins, alcohol, drugs, or autoimmune diseases. The virus that causes most cases is the hepatitis virus, and there are five main types.

The 5 Types of Hepatitis

  • Hepatitis A (HAV): Highly contagious. Spread through contaminated food and water. Rarely causes long-term effects. Vaccine available.
  • Hepatitis B (HBV): Transmitted through blood, body fluids, and from mother to child at birth. The virus can be present even in healthy people. Vaccine available.
  • Hepatitis C (HCV): Spread mainly through blood. No vaccine available. Often leads to chronic, long-term disease.
  • Hepatitis D (HDV): Only affects people already infected with Hepatitis B. Can lead to severe, long-term infections.
  • Hepatitis E (HEV): Spread the same way as HAV (contaminated food and water). Pregnant women are at higher risk.

Common Symptoms

Jaundice, fever, abdominal pain, vomiting, and dark urine are common signs of hepatitis.

Why This Day Matters

Millions of people worldwide suffer from hepatitis, and hundreds of thousands die each year. Hepatitis B and C, in particular, can cause long-term disability and cancer. The purpose of World Hepatitis Day is:

  • To raise awareness about hepatitis.
  • Highlight prevention and medical services.
  • Promote testing, vaccination, and treatment.
  • Encourage global action to eliminate hepatitis.

Prevention Tips

  • Get vaccinated for Hepatitis A and B.
  • Use clean drinking water.
  • Practice safe sex.
  • Avoid unsafe blood transfusions.
  • Sterilize medical and dental equipment.
  • Get regular blood tests and early detection.
2025 Theme: "Hepatitis Can't Wait – Test, Treat, Save Lives."

WHO, governments, and NGOs across the world are working together to combat hepatitis and save lives.

⚖️ International Day for Judicial Well-being ⚖️

⚖️ International Day for Judicial Well-being ⚖️


International days and weeks are occasions to educate the public on issues of concern, to mobilize political will and resources to address global problems, and to celebrate and reinforce achievements of humanity. The existence of international days predates the establishment of the United Nations, but the UN has embraced them as a powerful advocacy tool. We also mark other UN observances.

The concept of an "International Day of Judiciary" is evolving, with different aspects of the judiciary being recognized on specific days. Most prominently, the International Day for Judicial Well-being has been officially proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly as July 25th. This designation, adopted in March 2025 (Resolution A/RES/79/266), stems from the Nauru Declaration on Judicial Well-being launched on July 25, 2024. The core purpose of this day is to highlight that the health and well-being of judges are crucial for maintaining judicial integrity, independence, and the quality of justice delivered to the public. It's a call to action for the global judicial community to implement strategies that support judicial officers, recognizing that a strong, well-supported judiciary is fundamental to justice and democracy.

Why judicial well-being matters

Judges and other judicial officers such as magistrates, court commissioners, and arbitrators shoulder a profound responsibility - upholding the rule of law, protecting rights, and ensuring that justice is impartial and fair. But behind the bench, many judges struggle in silence. Long hours, isolation, and the emotional toll of decision-making can affect their well-being, ultimately influencing the quality of justice.

Corruption thrives where integrity falters. A judiciary under stress is more vulnerable to external influence, conflicts of interest, and erosion of public confidence. The United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC), especially Article 11, acknowledges this danger and calls for safeguarding the independence and integrity of the judiciary.

Judicial well-being is a prerequisite for judicial independence, integrity, and efficiency. When judges are supported, they are better equipped to resist undue influence, uphold ethical standards, and deliver justice fairly and competently.

The Nauru Declaration: a milestone for judicial well-being

The path to international recognition began with the Regional Judicial Conference on Integrity and Judicial Well-being, held in Nauru in July 2024. Organized by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in partnership with the Nauru Judiciary, the gathering brought together nearly twenty judicial leaders and global experts to confront a shared concern: judges around the world are under pressure, often without the resources or acknowledgment they need.

On 25 July 2024, they adopted the Nauru Declaration on Judicial Well-being which recognizes that the health and well-being of judges is critical to ensuring judicial integrity, independence, and the quality of justice delivered to the public.

Seven Guiding Principles

  • Judicial well-being is fundamental – It is essential to ensuring a fair and effective justice system. Without it, judicial independence and public trust are at risk.
  • Stigma must be removed – Judicial stress and mental health challenges should be openly acknowledged. Experiencing such difficulties does not reflect weakness or lack of fitness to serve.
  • Shared responsibility – Promoting judicial well-being is a collective responsibility—individual judges, court systems, and judicial institutions must all take action.
  • Culture matters – A supportive and inclusive judicial culture is necessary. Institutions must foster ethical environments that prioritize well-being.
  • Holistic approaches – Well-being efforts should include a mix of awareness-raising, prevention, early intervention, and recovery strategies.
  • Adaptability to local context – Actions to support judicial well-being should reflect the specific needs and realities of each jurisdiction.
  • Linked to human rights – Judicial well-being is connected to the broader protection and promotion of human rights, including the rights of court users and staff.

Proclaiming the International Day

Building on the momentum of the Nauru Declaration, in March 2025, the United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution A/RES/79/266, officially proclaiming 25 July as the International Day for Judicial Well-being.

The resolution ties the observance directly to international legal frameworks like the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC), emphasizing that judicial well-being supports anti-corruption, access to justice, and sustainable peace.

Global Conference, August 2025

To build on the commitments made in Nauru and reinforced by the UN resolution, the International Conference on Judicial Integrity and Well-being is taking place in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea on 20-22 August 2025. The event brings together judicial leaders and policymakers to develop concrete tools and strategies for integrating well-being into court systems worldwide.

♟️ World Chess Day - July 20 ♟️

♟️ World Chess Day ♟️

Today over 600 million people are playing chess every day, and the number is only increasing. The universal appeal of chess lies in the fact that it is an affordable and inclusive activity that can be conducted and exercised anywhere across the barriers of language, age, gender, physical ability or social status. Chess combines sport, scientific thinking and elements of art beautifully into an ancient sport of testing our intellectual abilities and is a reflection of the socio-cultural development of humanity over centuries.

According to UN, “Chess is a global game, which promotes fairness, inclusion and mutual respect, and noting in this regard that it can contribute to an atmosphere of tolerance and understanding among peoples and nations.”

Chess has been around for centuries, and if you ask us, every day is a chess day, since we have been lucky enough to learn, play, and enjoy this game with our students and coaches every day of the year. While there is a day designated for almost everything and every whim in that people have, UN endorses some on the basis of the potential of a particular cause in order to educate the public on issues of concern, to mobilize political will and resources to address global problems, and to celebrate and reinforce achievements of humanity.

When is International Chess Day Celebrated?

International Chess Day has been around since 1966. On 12 December 2019, the UN General Assembly proclaimed 20 July as World Chess Day to mark the date of the establishment of the International Chess Federation (FIDE) in Paris in 1924. Under the initiative of FIDE, July 20 has been observed as International Chess Day by chess players around the world since 1966.

Recognized by the International Olympic Committee as the supreme body responsible for chess championships, FIDE defines the individual and international competition rules of chess, calculates the ratings of chess players, and awards performance-based titles to chess players (Candidate Master, Master, International Master, Grandmaster, and their women’s versions).

Why is International Chess Day Celebrated?

International Chess Day is a worldwide celebration for chess celebrated on July 20 every year, the day FIDE was founded in 1924. FIDE also marks it’s 97th birthday this year as an organization. Players, clubs, and organizations around the world are marking this year aligning with the UN theme of “Chess for recovering better”.

As the Olympics brought truce and constructive competitive spirit, and also celebrated the human tenacity of beating odds, nothing has set a better example than chess in recent times.

“Throughout history, games and sports have helped humanity to survive times of crisis by reducing anxieties and improving mental health. While the coronavirus outbreak has forced most gaming and sports activities to scale down, chess has demonstrated remarkable resilience, adaptability and a very strong convening power in times of pandemic. Over the past few months, the overall interest in chess is reported to have doubled, with more players than ever coming together to participate in chess events that are being increasingly held through online platforms.”

Chess plays an important role in strengthening education, women empowerment, global cooperation and culture of peace. Sports have been known to bring people together, and FIDE’s motto, “Gens una sumus,” (Latin for “We are one people.”) resounds beautifully with the overall global sentiment in 2021.

Looking at the brighter side, the pandemic has created an opportunity to go beyond borders and look at the whole world in a uniformed perspective. Chess is a mind game that pushes for deep logical thinking and enhances responsible action. By promoting chess and linking it with the issues that concern the entire human race, International Chess Day is a creative and strategic way of creating a universal platform and showing solidarity with those still suffering from the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic in various corners of the world.

The benefits of chess have been long noticed, researched and recorded. Chess provides support to improving the brain’s “muscle power” and is also linked to mental development.

🕊️ Nelson Mandela International Day – July 18 🌍

 


✨ Nelson Mandela International Day is celebrated annually on July 18th, which is Nelson Mandela's birthday.

This day is a global call to action that celebrates the idea that each individual has the power to transform the world and make an impact.


đŸŽ¯ Purpose of Nelson Mandela International Day

The day's primary purpose is to inspire individuals to take action and make a positive difference in their communities, reflecting Mandela's values and dedication to the service of humanity.

It encourages people to embody his principles of:

✅ Conflict resolution
✅ Race relations
✅ Promotion and protection of human rights
✅ Reconciliation
✅ Gender equality
✅ Rights of children and other vulnerable groups
✅ The fight against poverty
✅ The promotion of social justice and a culture of peace

🕒 The overarching message is:

"Nelson Mandela has fought for social justice for 67 years. We're asking you to start with 67 minutes."

This encourages people to dedicate at least 67 minutes of their time to community service, symbolizing the 67 years Mandela spent fighting for social justice.


📚 History of Nelson Mandela International Day

The idea for Mandela Day was inspired by a call Nelson Mandela made a year earlier, for the next generation to take on the burden of leadership in addressing the world's social injustices, stating:

"It is in your hands now."

In November 2009, in recognition of Nelson Mandela's contribution to the culture of peace and freedom, the UN General Assembly unanimously declared July 18th as "Nelson Mandela International Day."

The first official observance of Mandela Day was held on July 18, 2010.


🌟 Activities for Nelson Mandela International Day

Many individuals, organizations, and governments participate in various activities to promote Nelson Mandela Day, including:

👐 Community service – Volunteering time at orphanages, old age homes, or animal shelters.
♻️ Environmental clean-ups – Participating in street or park clean-up initiatives.
🎁 Donations – Collecting and distributing food parcels, clothes, furniture, books, or toiletries to those in need.
🛠️ Skill-based volunteering – Offering professional skills (e.g., IT support, financial literacy, marketing) to non-profit organizations.
📚 Promoting education – Organizing book drives or reading to those who can't.
💖 Acts of kindness – Making new friends from different cultural backgrounds, visiting terminally ill people, or helping someone find a job.
đŸ“ĸ Raising awareness – Spreading the message of the day through social media and other platforms.


đŸ’Ŧ Final Thought

Essentially, any action that contributes to positive change in the world, however small, aligns with the spirit of Nelson Mandela International Day.

Let us honor his legacy — not just in remembrance, but in action.
