Issued by the United Nations Postal Administration in 1982, this 40-cent stamp commemorates the Second Disarmament Decade (1981–1990)—a global initiative promoting peace and the reduction of armaments. The design features a striking image of Earth above the golden UN emblem, symbolizing unity and global cooperation. Three white doves, representing peace, ascend from the UN emblem toward the world, capturing the hopeful spirit of disarmament. This issue is a meaningful piece in UN philately, reflecting the organization’s continuing advocacy for world peace and security.
