[edit] Summary
The International distinctive sign of civil defence according to the first Additional Protocol of 1977 to the Geneva Conventions of 1949
According to the protocol, the sign is defined as "an equilateral blue triangle on an orange ground". This means that the depiction shown here is only an example. For example, it is not required to use a round sign. Similarily, it is only recommended but not required that one of the angles of the triangle be pointed vertically upwards.
[edit] Licensing
| The use of the symbol shown in this image is regulated by certain international treaties, particularly the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907, the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and their additional protocols of 1977 and 2005, as well as other rules of International Humanitarian Law either in written agreements or by long-standing customs. Misuse of this symbol is prohibited by these treaties as well as by national law in all countries which have ratified them. These restrictions are independent of the copyright status of the depiction shown here.
