The Banner of Peace is a symbol associated with the Roerich Pact, the first international treaty aimed at the protection of artistic and scientific institutions and historical monuments.^[1] The pact, signed on April 15, 1935, represents a significant milestone in the international effort to safeguard cultural values and heritage. The Banner of Peace was proposed by Nicholas Roerich, a prominent figure in the development of the pact, as a universal emblem to signify protected cultural sites under the agreement.
