Issued by the Republic of Indonesia to mark World Refugee Year (1959–1960), this poignant 5-stamp set symbolizes compassion and humanitarian solidarity.
The designs depict refugees seeking shelter, families in exile, and the emblem of the international campaign to aid displaced persons worldwide. Each denomination — from 10 to 75 sen — carries both artistic and moral weight, blending strong line art with emotional storytelling. These stamps not only supported a global cause but also reflected Indonesia’s post-independence engagement with international humanitarian efforts. A meaningful issue for collectors interested in UN-themed, humanitarian, or mid-century Indonesian stamps.
