Description of the flag

In a news report on Sierra Leone I saw today there was a brief image the flag of the UN Special Court for Sierra Leone. I didn't get a good look, but the flag was white, with a brown-outlined logo in the center: a combination of a UN wreath and a scale with some features from the Sierra Leone coat of arms--two lions and a ribbon reading UNITY FREEDOM JUSTICE, with "SCSL" above it all. There is an image of it at the court's official site or on the Global Policy website.

The flag is the Special Court's logo on a white background. I suspect there are not more than one or two in existence. The only one I know of flies over the courthouse just outside my window. It is possible that there is another somewhere for ceremonial purposes.
