Organs of the United Nations
Pictorial chart on a salmon ground: a blue globe labelled General Assembly sits at the centre, ringed by circles for the Security Council, International Court of Justice, Economic and Social Council, Trusteeship Council and Secretariat, with commissions and specialized agencies listed at the right. It is mainly an explanatory diagram; the technique is faint, limited to the uniformly positive presentation of the institution.
