Decree: Articles 19 & 20
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a core resolution of the U.N. These stamps contain excerpts from Articles 19 and 20 – in English, French, and German. Below is the complete text from those two articles:
Article 19
Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.
Article 20
Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association. No one may be compelled to belong to an association.
Note
The painting shown on the top set of stamps is called, Lady Writing a Letter With Her Maid. It’s by Johannes Vermeer of the Netherlands. The art work for the second set of stamps comes from The Meeting by Ester Almquist from Sweden.
