This United Nations stamp, denominated 0.80 Swiss Francs, was issued by the UN Postal Administration in Geneva. It depicts the headquarters of the International Labour Office (Bureau International du Travail, BIT) located in Geneva, Switzerland, the seat of the International Labour Organization (ILO) — one of the UN’s oldest specialized agencies.

The design presents a detailed architectural view of the ILO building complex with its modernist façade and the array of national flags symbolizing international cooperation in labor rights and social justice. The upper left bears the BIT emblem, while the inscription “Siège du Bureau International du Travail, Genève, Suisse” identifies the building.

This issue emphasizes the role of the ILO in promoting decent work, fair labor standards, and global solidarity — fitting themes for a UN Geneva issue, where many social and humanitarian agencies are headquartered.
