Michel, catalog, United Nations publication 2025/26

Collectors of United Nations memorabilia will find everything they need for their collection in this volume. This includes not only the UN headquarters in New York and the offices in Geneva and Vienna, but also predecessor and subsidiary organizations such as the League of Nations and the International Court of Justice in The Hague. Also included are the UN interim administrations in Kosovo, West New Guinea, and East Timor. So instead of having to search through several Europe and overseas volumes, you have everything you need in one handy volume.

Since 1945, when the Charter of the United Nations was signed by the founding members, its primary goal has been to maintain world peace and international security. Emerging from a period of world wars, this organization arose with the primary interest of preventing wars through international understanding. Over time, other goals were added, such as securing the future and human rights, which the UN pursues through various actions.

By issuing its own stamps, the New York headquarters has been creating collectibles since 1951 for all those who support the ideas and goals of the United Nations. In addition, a UN collection adorns the albums of every philatelist with very special issues. Some of these commemorate the anniversaries of international organizations such as the Universal Postal Union, while others draw attention to important global issues such as species extinction.

This year, the UN turns 80 and is participating in the Expo in Osaka, Japan, with its own pavilion, alongside other international organizations and numerous nations from around the world. All three United Nations postal administrations have dedicated a joint block issue in April to this major world exhibition. The Expo's motto, “United for a Better Future,” ties in perfectly with the UN's goals of securing the future and promoting international understanding. In the philatelic world, block issues with stamps from different postal areas are a real rarity. For UN collectors, since the 2011 issue commemorating the anniversary of manned space flight, it is just another special feature of their chosen field of collecting.
