The Roerich Pact
A visionary and idealist, Roerich promoted peace and the protection of the world's cultural heritage, the unity of religions, and the notion that the creative people of the world bear the responsibility to save the world.
During the nineteen-twenties, he composed a treaty for protection of the historic monuments, museums, scientific, artistic, educational and cultural institutions in time of peace as well as in war.
Nowadays the Roerich Pact movement is especially popular in Latin America—check banderadelapaz.org and watch the video.
