Flag of the United Nations
The flag of the United Nations is a sky blue banner containing the United Nations' emblem in the centre. The emblem on the flag is coloured white; it is a depiction of the world map in the azimuthal equidistant projection (centred on the North Pole), which is surrounded by a pair of olive branches. The emblem was officially adopted on 7 December 1946, and the flag containing the emblem was officially adopted on 20 October 1947. The size of the emblem on the flag is one half the width of the flag itself. The flag proportions of the aspect ratio of the flag height to its width, are equal 2:3, 3:5 or to the same proportions as the national flag of any country in which the UN flag is flown. The olive branches are a symbol for peace, and the world map represents all the people and the countries of the world. McLaughlin had previously worked as chief of graphics for the Office of Strategic Services that preceded the CIA. The azimuthal equidistant projection used in his design was heavily influenced by the maps created during World War II by Richard Edes Harrison, a popular cartographer working for Fortune and Life.''''. The blue that appears in the background of the insignia was chosen to be "the opposite of red, the war colour", although the exact shade has never been officially specified by the United Nations. The original colour the group chose in 1945 was a gray blue that differs from the current United Nations flag, unofficially called "Stettinius Blue", and it was selected because at that time it was not in use in any national flag The globe used in the original design was an azimuthal projection focused on the North Pole with the United States, the host nation of the conference, at the centre. The projection that was used cut off portions of the Southern Hemisphere at the latitude of Argentina, which was acceptable at the time, as Argentina was not planned to be an original member of the United Nations. The projection was later altered so that no country will be at prominence within the flag. The new logo was now designed so that the globe is bisected in the centre by the Prime Meridian and the International Date Line. The earlier version of the emblem had the globe 90 degrees turned eastward compared with the present flag, which has the Prime Meridian and the International Date Line forming the vertical diameter. According to press statements, the change was made to move North America away from the centre of the emblem. The IAEA is independent of but reporting to the United Nations. |

===National flags===
The UN flag is the origin of a family of national flags. Because of the UN's association with peace and cooperation, UN inspired flags are often adopted by states that have experienced conflict or instability. Many states with UN inspired flags either were or were a part of United Nations trust territories. Image Entity abbrev. Description Bosnia and Herzegovina The flag of Bosnia and Herzegovina was introduced by the UN High Representative Carlos Westendorp after the Parliament of Bosnia and Herzegovina could not agree on a common flag. The color scheme references the flag of Europe as much or more than the UN. Cambodia (1992–1993) The flag of the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia uses the UN colours with a white map of Cambodia with the word for Cambodia in Khmer script. CyprusThe flag of Cyprus uses a map and olive branches inspired by the UN flag. Eritrea (1952–1962) The first flag of Eritrea used UN blue and olive branches. Eritrea (1993–present) The current flag of Eritrea uses less UN blue but retains the olive branches. Federated States of Micronesia The flag of the Federated States of Micronesia is derived from the former UN inspired flag of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, of which it was a part. Kosovo The flag of Kosovo, was adopted 17 February 2008. Until then, Kosovo had been under the administration of the United Nations since 10 June 1999 and had used the UN flag for official purposes. Northern Mariana Islands The flag of the Northern Mariana Islands is also derived from the former UN inspired flag of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, of which it was a part. Somalia (1954–present) The flag of Somalia has UN blue and white, and was first used during the period of the United Nations Trust Territory of Somaliland. Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands The flag of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands uses UN blue and was adopted during a period of UN administered transition to independence. Turkmenistan The Flag of Turkmenistan uses UN olive branches below the five carpet guls.

Флаг Организации Объединенных Наций представляет собой небесно-голубое полотнище, в центре которого расположен символ Организации Объединенных Наций. Символ на флаге белого цвета: это изображение карты мира в азимутальной равноудаленной проекции (с центром на Северном полюсе), окруженной парой оливковых ветвей. Символ был официально принят 7 декабря 1946 года, а флаг с этим символом – 20 октября 1947 года. Размер символа на флаге составляет половину ширины самого флага. Пропорции флага, отношение высоты к ширине, равны 2:3, 3:5 или соответствуют пропорциям национального флага страны, в которой он развевается. Оливковые ветви символизируют мир, а карта мира – все народы и страны мира. МакЛофлин ранее работал начальником графического отдела Управления стратегических служб, предшествовавшего ЦРУ. Азимутальная равноудаленная проекция, использованная в его дизайне, была сильно подвержена влиянию карт, созданных во время Второй мировой войны Ричардом Эдесом Харрисоном, популярным картографом, работавшим в журналах Fortune и Life. Синий цвет фона символа был выбран как «противоположность красному, цвету войны», хотя точный оттенок Организацией Объединенных Наций официально не был определен. Изначально, в 1945 году, группа выбрала серо-голубой цвет, отличающийся от нынешнего флага ООН, неофициально называемого «Stettinius Blue», поскольку он в то время не использовался ни на одном национальном флаге. Глобус в оригинальном дизайне был представлен азимутальной проекцией, ориентированной на Северный полюс, с Соединенными Штатами, страной-хозяйкой конференции, в центре. Использованная проекция обрезала часть Южного полушария на широте Аргентины, что было приемлемо, поскольку Аргентина не планировалась в качестве первоначального члена Организации Объединенных Наций. Позже проекция была изменена, чтобы ни одна страна не выделялась на флаге. Новый логотип был разработан таким образом, чтобы земной шар был разделен по центру нулевым меридианом и Международной линией смены дат. В предыдущей версии символа глобус был повернут на 90 градусов к востоку по сравнению с нынешним флагом, на котором нулевой меридиан и Международная линия смены дат образуют вертикальный диаметр. Согласно заявлениям для прессы, изменение было сделано для того, чтобы переместить Северную Америку от центра символа. МАГАТЭ является независимой организацией, но подотчетной Организации Объединенных Наций.
