Human Rights: Art. 15 & 16
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a core resolution of the U.N. These stamps contain excerpts from Articles 15 and 16 – in English, French, and German. Below is the complete text from those two articles:
Article 15
Everyone has the right to a nationality. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality nor denied the right to change his nationality.
Article 16
Men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry and to found a family. They are entitled to equal rights as to marriage, during marriage and at its dissolution. Marriage shall be entered into only with the free and full consent of the intending spouses. The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State.
Note
The water color painting shown on the top set of stamps is called, Early Morning in Ro. It was painted by Paul Klee of Germany and can be found in the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The painting shown on the second set of stamps is called, The Marriage of Giovanni Arnolfini and Giovanna Cenami. It’s by Jan Van Eyck of the Netherlands. You can see it in the National Gallery in London.
