Curator's note:

The graphic in this poster depicts an armed, camouflage-clad Palestinian guerilla leaving the United Nations building

The new sign signifies the PLO's redefinition of the role of the UN from being the manager of a "refugee problem" to becoming a new forum for realizing the national rights of the Palestinian people
