Description
This stamp highlights Tunisia's commitment to the international fight against racism and racial discrimination, in connection with an international conference placed under the aegis of the United Nations in the early 1970s. The illustration adopts a symbolic graphic language: abstract and dynamic shapes suggest human diversity gathered around the same axis, while visual references to the UN universe evoke vigilance, justice and solidarity between peoples. The whole transmits a message of unity, equality and refusal of exclusions, affirming that human dignity constitutes a universal basis beyond origins and differences. In the Tunisian context, this stamp reflects the desire of the young Republic to actively participate in major international causes, to promote the values ​​of tolerance and justice inherited from its Mediterranean and African history, and to make equality a fundamental principle of its political and cultural identity.
