 == El Estandarte de la Paz ==
-One of the goals of Roerich’s lifelong pursuit of preserving the world’s cultural heritage came to fruition in 1935 with the signing of the Roerich Pact treaty at the White House by representatives of the countries comprising the Pan-American Union. Under the pact, nations at war were obliged to respect museums, universities, cathedrals and libraries as they did hospitals. Just as hospitals flew the Red Cross flag, cultural institutions would fly Roerich’s “Banner of Peace,” a flag that has a white field with three red spheres in the center surrounded by a red circle. Roerich believed that by protecting culture, the spiritual health of the nations would be preserved.
+Una de las metas del empeño de toda una vida de los Roerich para conservar la herencia cultural del mundo llegó a fructificar en 1935, con la firma del tratado Pacto Roerich en la Casa Blanca por representantes de los países que formaban la Unión Panamericana. Bajo ese pacto, los países en guerra estaban obligados a respetar museos, universidades, catedrales y librerías tal como hacían con los hospitales. Igual que los hospitales tenían la bandera de la Cruz Roja, las instituciones culturales tendrían el «Estandarte de la Paz» de Roerich, una bandera de fondo blanco con tres esferas rojas en el centro, rodeadas por un círculo rojo. Roerich creía que al proteger la cultura, la salud espiritual de las naciones sería conservada.
 Roerich was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1929 and 1935 for his efforts to promote international peace through art and culture and to protect art treasures in time of war. World War II interrupted his activities and those of the Urusvati Himalayan Research Institute, and Roerich devoted himself to helping victims of the war. He also donated money from the sale of his paintings and books to the Soviet Red Cross.
