75 Years of United Nations
Date of Issue : 24 October 2020
The United Nations Postal Administration (UNPA) commemorated the seventy-fifth anniversary of the United Nations with the issuance of three stamp mini-sheets on 24 October. At least twenty other postal administrations of United Nations Member States joined the UNPA in issuing stamps to commemorate this milestone.
The stamp sheets include the following quote from Secretary-General António Guterres:
"The vision and values of the Charter of the United Nations, which was adopted 75 years ago, stand the test of time. The United Nations works as one for the benefit of all – for peace, sustainable development, justice and human rights."
The mini-sheets of two stamps in the denominations of $1.20, CHF 2,00 and €1,80 were designed by Matt Willey of the design firm Pentagram. A souvenir card with a statement by the Secretary-General and Nelson Mandela was also issued.
