Issued in 1959 by the United Nations Postal Administration, this pair of stamps honors the International Labour Organisation (ILO), founded in 1919 and later integrated into the UN system. The designs feature the UN emblem above a pedestal bearing the ILO monogram, symbolizing the close cooperation between the UN and the ILO in promoting social justice, labor rights, and fair working conditions worldwide. The set includes the 3¢ brown and 8¢ rose carmine values, both inscribed in multiple languages, underscoring the global nature of the organization. These stamps remain a significant thematic issue for collectors interested in international organizations and humanitarian efforts.
