Issued by the United Nations Postal Administration, this 20¢ stamp honors the International Court of Justice, the UN’s principal judicial organ seated at The Hague. The design features a stylized sword of justice forming a cross, flanked by balanced scales — symbols of fairness and law. The minimalist composition in blue and white reflects impartiality and peace, values central to the Court’s mission of resolving disputes between nations. A refined modernist piece, it stands among the UN’s most emblematic justice-themed issues of the 1970s.
