N.Y. General Business Law § 141: Unlawful use of the name United Nations

§ 141. Unlawful use of the name United Nations. No person, firm or

corporation shall, without express authority from the secretary general

of the United Nations, assume, adopt or use as, or as a part of a

corporate, assumed or trade name, for advertising purposes, or for the

purposes of trade, or for any other purpose, the name United Nations, or

abbreviation thereof; or any official emblem or other official insignia

thereof; nor shall any person, firm or corporation, with intent to

deceive or mislead the public, for any of such purposes, assume, adopt

or use any name, designation or style, or simulation thereof, or

designation or style, or simulation thereof, which may deceive or

mislead the public as to the true identity of such person, firm or

corporation or as to the official connection of such person, firm or

corporation with the United Nations. A violation of this section shall

be a misdemeanor. Whenever there shall be an actual or threatened

violation of this section, an application may be made to a court or

justice having jurisdiction to issue an injunction, upon notice to the

defendant of not less than five days, to enjoin and restrain such actual

or threatened violation; and if it shall appear to the satisfaction of

the court or justice that the defendant is in fact, assuming, adopting

or using such name, or is about to assume, adopt or use such name, and

that the assumption, adoption or use of such name was not expressly

authorized by the secretary general of the United Nations, and may

deceive or mislead the public, an injunction may be issued by such court

or justice, enjoining and restraining such actual or threatened

violation without requiring proof that any person has in fact been

deceived or mislead thereby. This section shall not prevent the

continued use of a corporate name or trade name heretofore lawfully

used.
