Issued in 1964, this 13¢ stamp from the United Nations commemorates the first United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), held in Geneva. The design features a symbolic crane lifting a cargo box before a globe, representing global commerce and the efforts to foster economic cooperation among developing and developed nations. The magenta grid background evokes international trade routes, while the UN emblem appears subtly above. This issue reflects the UN’s mission to promote fair trade and development in a rapidly globalizing world.
