The Brazilian Red is celebrating its centenary today. Unfortunately, any stamp was issued to remember this important organization, defender of the Human Rights worldwide. Above, the postmark celebrating the 40th anniversary of the brazilian Red Cross, on 1948. The desing of the drawing, on the sheet, was used before on a set of stamps about the pan american conference of the Red Cross, on 1938.Marcadores: Carimbo, cruz vermelha, Postmark
Last june, the United Nations Postal Administration (UNPA) issued six commemorative stamps on the theme “Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities”. The Convention, explained by the UNPA site, "is intended as a human rights instrument with an explicit, social development dimension. It adopts a broad categorization of persons with disabilities and reaffirms that all persons with all types of disabilities must enjoy all human rights and fundamental freedoms." Thanks to Róbert, from Slovakia, I received the stamp issued by the UN-Vienna, my first cover from the headquarts of the United Nations in Austria.

The stamp on the left, issued on october 4, 2007, commemorates the 50th anniversary of the first russian satellite, Sputnik 1, which was launched on that date in 1957. The two stamps, on the right side, were issued on September 06, 2006. They are part of the set “Fauna of Macedonia” and depict the shells Ancylus scalariformis Stanković & Radoman and Macedopyrgula pavlovici Polinski.
