Issued in 1963, this stamp commemorates the 15th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United Nations on 10 December 1948. The declaration established a common international standard of fundamental rights and freedoms, affirming the principles of human dignity, equality, justice, and respect for all people regardless of nationality, religion, or social status. The fifteenth anniversary was observed worldwide as an opportunity to reaffirm these universal principles and their importance to peace and human progress.

By issuing this commemorative stamp, the United Kingdom of Libya joined the international observance of this important milestone and expressed support for the ideals embodied in the declaration. The issue highlighted the significance of protecting fundamental human rights and emphasized the role of international cooperation in promoting freedom, equality, and respect for human dignity around the world.
