XIX Letnie Igrzyska Olimpijskie (oficjalnie Igrzyska XIX Olimpiady) odbyły się w 1968 roku w mieście Meksyku.

Meksykańskie igrzyska przeszły do historii jako jedne z upolitycznionych. Dziesięć dni przed uroczystym otwarciem imprezy studenci, protestujący przeciwko finansowaniu przez państwo tak wielkiego przedsięwzięcia (biorąc pod uwagę ubóstwo społeczeństwa), starli się z wojskiem i policją. W wyniku walk zginęło 250 protestujących, a ponad tysiąc trafiło do szpitali. Wydarzenia te przeszły do historii jako masakra w Tlatelolco.

Po raz kolejny nie dopuszczono do udziału w igrzyskach państw prowadzących politykę rasistowską (RPA i Rodezja). Natomiast po raz pierwszy reprezentacje Zachodnich i Wschodnich Niemiec występowały oddzielnie. Nowością było przeprowadzenie testów antydopingowych oraz testów płci.

The flag of Navassa Island is simply the United States flag. It does not have a "local" flag or "unofficial" flag; it is an uninhabited island. The version with a profile view was based on Flags of the World and as a fictional design has no status warranting a place on any Wiki. It was made up by a random person with no connection to the island, it has never flown on the island, and it has never received any sort of recognition or validation by any authority. The person quoted on that page has no authority to bestow a flag, "unofficial" or otherwise, on the island.

It is a combination of the five Olympic rings and the year. The design came from the architect and President of the Organising Committee for the Games, Pedro Ramírez Vázquez, who lead the team that create all the icons, fonts and images for the Mexican Olympic Games. Eduardo Terrazas (MEX) and Lance Wyman (USA) were part of that design team, that mainly recalls the patterns of the Huichole Indians.
Flag of Libya (1951–1969).svg
Flag of Libya between 1951-69, and re-introduced in the interim Constitutional Declaration of 3 August 2011.

The flag of the Kingdom of Libya was described in article 7 of the constitution of 7th October 1951 and officially adopted on 24 December 1951. The relevant passage in the constitution reads as follows (English translation based on The Libyan Flag & The National Anthem, a booklet issued by the Ministry of Information and Guidance of the Kingdom of Libya (year unknown), cited after Jos Poels at FOTW, 27 January 1997)

The national flag shall have the following dimensions: Its length shall be twice its breadth, it shall be divided into three parallel coloured stripes, the uppermost being red, the centre black and the lowest green, the black stripe shall be equal in area to the two other stripes and shall bear in its centre a white crescent, between the two extremities of which there shall be a five-pointed white star.
The red shall be sign red, and the green permanent green. The Crescent shall be on the hoistward side of the star, and the centre of the circle of which the crescent forms a part shall be in the centre of the flag. The star shall be in the open end of the crescent and one point of the star shall point to the centre of the circle. The maximum width of the 270 crescent shall equal 1/6th of its outside diameter which is 1/4th of the width of the flag. The distance between the tips of the crescent shall equal that between the uppermost and lowermost point of the star measured along a perpendicular forming the hoistward sides of these two points. The perpendicular shall form a tangent to the outside circumference of the crescent at a point equidistant from the top and bottom of the flag.

The booklet cited by way of illustration of the symbolism of the flag adds: "In the words of a well known Arab poet 'Our deeds are the colour of white, our battles of black, our meadows of green and our swords of red.' [...] The crescent is symbolic of the beginning of the lunar month according to the moslem calendar. It brings back to our minds the story of Hijra (migration) of our prophet Mohammed from his home in order to spread Islam and teach the priciples of right and virtue. The Star represents our smiling hope, the beauty of aim and object and the light of our belief in God, in our country, its dignity and honour which illuminate our way and puts an end to darkness."

But according to Barraclough's Flags of The World (1965): "The black stripe and its charges were from the black flag which the king had adopted when he was proclaimed Amir of Cyrenaica in 1947; the red stripe represents Fezzen, and the green Tripolitania."


Article 3 of the Constitutional Declaration (3 August 2011) reads (unofficial translation from the Arabic):

"The national flag shall have the following shape and dimensions:"
"Its length shall be double its width, it shall be divided into three parallel coloured stripes, the uppermost being red, the centre black and the lowest green, the black stripe shall be equal in area to the two other stripes together and shall bear in its centre a white crescent, between the two extremities of which shall be a five-pointed white star.
