The Red Crescent: Protection of war victims

This surcharge stamp highlights the fundamental role of the Tunisian Red Crescent within the framework of international humanitarian law. Ali Bellagha's illustration is highly symbolic: on a gradient background evoking earth and fire, a white dove, a symbol of peace, overlooks a shield bearing the Arabic inscription "Protection of victims of war". At the bottom, the silhouette of stranded fish suggests the collateral damage of conflicts over life. This stamp recalls Tunisia's accession to the Geneva Conventions and highlights the action of volunteers to relieve human suffering, without distinction, in crisis zones.
