On July 11, 1996, Mandela was personally congratulated by both Houses of the British Parliament for having led his own Parliament in adopting the South African Constitution in May of that year. Addressing the assembled Houses, Mandela remarked that the occasion symbolized the closing of a circle: "[L]et our peoples . . . join hands to build on what we have achieved together and help construct a humane African world whose emergence will say a new universal order is born in which we are each our brothers' and our sisters' keeper."
