Slogan Cancellation

On 2 January 2007, a new slogan cancellation was put into use at United Nations Headquarters, New York, the Palais des Nations, Geneva, Switzerland, and the Vienna International Centre, Austria. "United for Peace" replaced the slogan "International Year of Deserts and Desertification 2006".

A new meter slogan, in the same design as above, was also introduced on 2 January 2007.

A new slogan cancellation in German was also put into use on 2 January 2007 at the Vienna International Centre in Austria. Envelopes for the cancellation must be sent to
