30th Anniversary of the signing of the UN Charter.

The name "United Nations", coined by United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt was first used in the Declaration by United Nations of 1 January 1942, during the Second World War, when representatives of 26 nations pledged their Governments to continue fighting together against the Axis Powers.
In 1945, representatives of 50 countries met in San Francisco at the United Nations Conference on International Organization to draw up the United Nations Charter. Those delegates deliberated on the basis of proposals worked out by the representatives of China, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and the United States at Dumbarton Oaks, United States in August-October 1944. The Charter was signed on 26 June 1945 by the representatives of the 50 countries. Poland, which was not represented at the Conference, signed it later and became one of the original 51 Member States.
The UN Postal Service issued these two stamps on the miniature sheet pasted on the First day cover issued on 26 June 1975 to celebrate the 30^th Anniversary of the signing of the UN Charter.
The United Nations officially came into existence on 24 October 1945, when the Charter had been ratified by China, France, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, the United States and by a majority of other signatories. United Nations Day is celebrated on 24 October each year. Merja gave me this very historic FDC.
On the cover is a picture of a teakwood statue which symbolises the UN as being "Mankind's hope for a better tomorrow". Whether, that has been fulfilled or will come true, is really debatable!
