A bit of history

The Roerich Pact and the flag of peace is an international treaty with the Baltic states and 22 American nations that establish that any nation is able to protect their cultural and artistic heritage with a symbolic flag.

Signed the 15th of April 1935 in Washington DC, this treaty is today an international law.
