Issued in 1952 by the United Nations Postal Administration, this 3-cent stamp honors the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), one of the UN’s specialized agencies dedicated to global communication and telegraph coordination. The design features the UN emblem at the center, encircled by radiating communication lines symbolizing worldwide connectivity. The acronym “ITU” appears prominently, along with inscriptions in English, French, Spanish, Russian, and Chinese, reflecting the UN’s multilingual representation. Printed in shades of blue, the stamp captures the mid-20th century optimism about technology’s role in fostering international cooperation.
