Practice Relating to Rule 60. Improper Use of the United Nations Emblem or Uniform
Sweden’s IHL Manual (1991) considers that the “prohibition of improper use of recognized emblems”, as contained in Article 38 of the 1977 Additional Protocol I, is part of customary international law.
Under Sweden’s Penal Code (1962), as amended in 1998, “misuse of the insignia of the United Nations” constitutes a crime against international law.
