DescriptionFour Freedoms Flag or United Nations Honour Flag ca 1943-1948.svg
English: The "Four Freedoms flag" or "United Nations Honor Flag", influenced by Roosevelt's
Four Freedoms, and intended to symbolize the WW2 Allies and their goals, as set down in the
Atlantic Charter and the
Declaration by United Nations. This flag was designed by Brooks Harding in October 1942, and saw some use from 1943 to ca. 1948. It was sometimes called the "United Nations flag", but was never an official organizational flag of the post-war United Nations.
Image created by self from simple geometry. Various proportions were in use, and there may not have been an exact "official" definition of the flag's geometry...
This work is excerpted from an official document of the United Nations.
Prior to 17 September 1987 it was the policy of this organisation to not seek copyright, keeping most of its documents in the public domain, in order to disseminate "as widely as possible the ideas (contained) in the United Nations Publications" (
detail).
UN works not in the annex to
Administrative Instruction ST/AI/189/Add.9/Rev.1 (available in
English) published in the US before 1978 are in the public domain because they were published without a copyright notice. UN works not in the annex to ST/AI/189/Add.9/Rev.1 published in the US between 1978 and 17 September 1987 are in the public domain because they were published without a copyright notice and their copyright was not subsequently registered with the U.S. Copyright Office within 5 years (from 1978 through 1993 the UN did not register any document published in the US before 17 September 1987).
This work is in the public domain in the United States because it meets two requirements:
it was
published in the United States before 17 September 1987 by the United Nations, and
it is not sourced to a document listed in the appendix of ST/AI/189/Add.9/Rev.1 (these documents were copyrighted under an exception to the general practice).
This work is copyrighted in jurisdictions that do not apply the
rule of the shorter term for US works or that specifically extend local copyright protection to works of the U.N.
Note: you must include evidence that this work appears in an official document of the United Nations published in the United States prior to 17 September 1987.
This image of simple geometry is ineligible for
copyright and therefore in the public domain, because it consists entirely of information that is common property and contains no original authorship.
This image shows a
flag, a
coat of arms, a
seal or some other official insignia. The use of such symbols is restricted in many countries. These restrictions are independent of the
copyright status.
