-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.
+A meta de preservar a herança cultural do mundo, que o casal Roerich buscou durante toda a vida, deu frutos em 1935, com a assinatura do Pacto Roerich, firmado na Casa Branca por representantes dos países que formavam a União Pan-Americana. De acordo com o Pacto, as nações em guerra eram obrigadas a respeitar museus, universidades, catedrais e bibliotecas, como faziam com os hospitais. As instituições culturais deviam hastear a “Bandeira da Paz” de Roerich, que tinha o fundo branco e, no centro, três esferas vermelhas circundadas por um círculo da mesma cor. Roerich acreditava que protegendo a cultura, a saúde espiritual das nações seria preservada.
 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.
