Issued in 1966, this stamp commemorates Arab Unity Week, observed under the slogan "Unity is Strength." The design features the emblem of the League of Arab States mounted upon a bundle of rods, a traditional symbol representing strength through unity. The issue reflected the aspirations of many Arab countries during the 1960s to strengthen political, economic, and cultural cooperation and promote closer relations among Arab peoples.

By issuing this commemorative stamp, the Republic of Iraq expressed its support for the ideals of Arab solidarity and regional cooperation. The issue emphasized the importance of unity, mutual assistance, and collective action in advancing common interests and promoting development, stability, and understanding throughout the Arab world.
