Ghana 1968 International Human Rights Year Complete Set

Ghana · 1968 · 3p, 5p, 15p, 20p, 30p

This set of five stamps commemorates the 20th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Each stamp features a symbolic design related to human rights, such as a dove of peace, scales of justice, and a family unit, set against vibrant, colorful backgrounds. The designs are modern and graphic, reflecting the style of the late 1960s.

Issued in 1968, this set was part of a worldwide philatelic initiative marking International Human Rights Year, as designated by the United Nations. Ghana, as a relatively new independent nation, used this issue to affirm its commitment to global human rights principles.
