"The Golden Rule." This is a Norman Rockwell mosaic depicting people of different nationalities standing together with the words "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" inscribed on it. It was presented by Nancy Reagan in 1985. The mosaic, entitled "The Golden Rule," seeks to depict "a vision of a united people," said Mrs Reagan. Secretary-General Perez de Cuellar in accepting the gift said, "The painter's vision indeed recalls the Charter's inspiring precept for all 'to practice tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good neighbors.' The mosaic eloquently expresses our aspirations for human rights and fundamental freedoms for all, without distinction as to sex, race, language or religion." The gift, which was arranged and financed by the Thanks-Giving Square Foundation of Dallas, Texas is on the third floor of the Conference Building next to the Economic and Social Council Chamber. |
