be flown at half-mast on the day following the death; c.

Foreign Affairs and/or the Dean of the locally accredited
Diplomatic Corps; e. The head of a specialized agency is
authorized by the Secretary-General to lower the United

the United Nations Flag to half-mast on any occasion when the
specialized agency is in official mourning; f. The United
Nations Flag may also be flown at half-mast on special
instructions of the Secretary-General on the death of a world
leader who has had a significant connection with the United
Nations; g. The Secretary-General may in special circumstances
decide that the United Nations Flag, w! herever displayed,
shall be flown at half-mast during a period of official United
Nations mourning; h. The United Nations Flag when displayed at

again be raised to the peak before it is lowered for the day;
i. When the United Nations Flag is flown at half-mast no other
flag will be displayed; j. Crepe streamers may be affixed to
flagstaffs flying the United Nations Flag in a funeral
