This United Nations stamp, issued in 1957, carries the timeless biblical message “They Shall Beat Their Swords into Ploughshares,” symbolizing humanity’s aspiration for peace through disarmament. The phrase is framed by the words “Towards Disarmament” in English, French, Russian, Spanish, and Chinese—reflecting the UN’s global inclusiveness. At the bottom, the official UN emblem appears above the denomination and “UNITED NATIONS” inscription in bold blue. The design captures the organization’s postwar mission to promote international harmony and the abolition of war.
