International Labour Organisation (ILO)

On March 9, 2019, the Algerian Post issued a stamp commemorating the 100th Anniversary of the UN-based International Labour Organization (ILO). On the stamp however the inscription read “Celebration of the International Lobor Organisation constitution centenary”. Therefore instead of “Labour” (British English) or the alternative “Labor” (American English), the “a” was an “o” instead. The official name uses “Labour”, therefore a double error. The stamp was withdrawn from sale after three month due to the error. In May 2019, a corrected stamp was issued.
