Material in this series relates to Mary Robinson’s work with The Elders from 2007 to 2018. In 2007 she was invited by Nelson Mandela to become a founding member of The Elders, the formation of which was announced on Mandela’s 89th birthday in Johannesburg, 18 July 2007. Envisaged as a group of independent global leaders working together for peace, justice, human rights and a sustainable planet, it was the brainchild of Peter Gabriel and Richard Branson. The Elders programmes are encompassed by three overarching themes: Governance and Leadership; Conflict, its Causes and Consequences; and Inequality, Exclusion and Injustice. On 1 November 2018, Robinson was appointed Chair of The Elders, succeeding Kofi Annan who had died earlier that year and who had in turn succeeded Archbishop Desmond Tutu as chair.
