The flag of the International Civil Defence Organisation (ICDO) was sighted
as a table flag used at the 38th ICDO Executive Council meeting held in Geneva,
Switzerland held from 30th June to 1st July 2005[1]. The emblem
of the ICDO as used on the flag, features an orange globe with white longitude
and latitude lines throughout on which is placed a blue equilateral triangle.
The blue triangle on an orange field is the distinctive sign of Civil Defence as
spelt out in the 1977 Protocols to the 1949 Geneva Convention[2].
The globe and triangle is completed with green laurels[3]. The
ICDO emblem is placed on a white field when used as a flag. Also perhaps of
interest in relation to the emblem of civil defence, the ICDO and the
International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) jointly organized a meeting of
experts on the implementation of international humanitarian law relating to
civil defence from 30 June to 2 July 1997.
In an article summarising the various discussions that went on in the meeting[4],
one of the issues raised was that of regulating the use of the civil defence
emblem along the lines of the Red Cross-Red Crescent emblem where it seems to
have been agreed that, "No additions should be made to the [civil defence]
emblem, referred to in Protocol I as 'the international distinctive sign'.
Governments that had made additions should be asked not to do so and to amend
their legislation."
ICDO's emblem was also given mention where, "[i]t was noted in passing that the
logo of the ICDO was different from the international emblem."

The flag is shown in a photo at the ICDO site,
http://www.icdo.org/, but with a difference - two lines of blue writing are
beneath the logo. I can't make them out. Based on the context of the photo, this
might be a headquarters flag.
