International Year of the Fight against Apartheid

This stamp expresses Tunisia's unwavering solidarity with the fight against the regime of racial segregation in South Africa, part of the International Year of Struggle Against Apartheid decreed by the UN in 1978. The powerful image of a hammer in the colors of the United Nations and Tunisia striking a wedge symbolizing oppression illustrates the country's diplomatic commitment to justice and equality on the African continent. This 50-millime issue transforms the postal figurine into a rallying cry for human rights, affirming that freedom cannot be complete without an end to all racial discrimination in the world.
