Issued in 1960, this Nicaraguan 5-córdoba airmail stamp commemorates the Año Mundial del Refugiado (World Refugee Year), an international humanitarian initiative endorsed by the United Nations to raise awareness and aid for refugees worldwide. The design shows a series of stylized crosses extending toward a globe, symbolizing the shared responsibility of nations in supporting displaced persons. To the right, the UNHCR emblem reinforces the global humanitarian message. Printed by Joh. Enschedé en Zonen, Holland, the stamp combines modernist design with a powerful plea for compassion and solidarity across borders.
