I would hope that for observances belonging to all humanity, that these observances will make it into the free calendar software also potentially belonging to all humanity (at least available via the site if not by default).

Listing obtained from http://www.un.org/Depts/dhl/un_conf.htm . I didn't categorize the holidays as public holidays (but as "holidays") since that gives the connotation of days off of work. I didn't add descriptions since I didn't find any good short summaries online, but I did add a link to the official U.N. sites which describe the observances.

Though not strictly a holiday-file, I think we could put this online on mozilla.org.

We are only using the mozilla.org website as a resource for the classic country holidays. We will therefore not this file there. Sorry.

That is a very big disappointment. Though nothing compared to the disappointment of the people of the world who find their will rejected by a few powers, vote after vote, year after year (that's a reference to the Security Council, btw, not Mozilla!).
