The World Organization Volleyball for Disabled (WOVD) is an international
organization that is for people with physical disabilities, WOVD is affiliated
with the International Paralympic Committee (IPC). The World Organization
Volleyball for Disabled was established in 1951, but became its own separate
Organization in 1992. The WOVD Headquarters were established in the Netherlands.
The WOVD is responsible for managing and controlling the conduct of
international volleyball competitions for men, women and youth.

The protocol manual for the London 2012 Olympics
(Flags and Anthems Manual London 2012 [loc12])
provides recommendations for flag designs. Each
international federation and international
paralympics federation was sent an image of the flag, including the PMS
shades, for their approval by LOCOG. Once this was obtained, LOCOG produced a 60
x 90 cm version of the flag for further approval. So, while these specs may not
be the official version of each flag, they are certainly what the
international federation and
international paralympics federation believed the flag to be.

recommendations for flag designs of international sporting federations.
