Issued by the République Populaire du Congo in 1980, this commemorative pair marks the 40th Anniversary of the Convention on the Protection of Human Rights. Both designs feature powerful symbolic imagery: a white dove of peace, a family emblem representing human dignity, and a stylized flame within a laurel wreath, highlighting global commitment to freedom and welfare.
The set includes 120F (blue) and 350F (green) values, both crisply printed by Cartor and signed by designer M.R. Olden. A meaningful thematic addition for collectors of Human Rights, Peace, and International Organizations topics, with bold modernist artwork characteristic of late-20th-century African issues.
