Stamps Promote International Day of Peace
On September 21, 2017, the UN Postal Administration issued three stamps from each of its issuing offices commemorating the International Day of Peace. Two designs were issued in panes of 20, while the third is a souvenir sheet with one stamp. The theme of that year was “Together for Peace: Respect, Safety, and Dignity for All.”
The 49¢ stamp from the New York office is called “Equality/Doves.” It shows two doves in symmetry. The Chinese characters that mean “peace” are at the bottom of the design.
The $1.15 stamp represents the expression “moths to a flame.” It’s a reminder that “the beauty of civility and decency serves as humanity’s guiding flame…” according to the UNPA. The word ‘Peace” is written along the left side of the stamp.
The International Day of Peace was established in 1981 with the goals of “alleviating the tensions and causes of conflict,” according to the UN resolution. The focus of the 2017 celebrations was the spirit of togetherness and support for refugees and migrants.
