Non-free media use rationale - non-free logo for African Union
Description	This is a logo for African Union. Further details: SVG image of the Flag of the African Union. It is not clear whether the logo on the flag is actually a copyrighted element or not, but for safety, fair use is claimed.
Source	The logo may be obtained from African Union.
Article	African Union
Portion used	This is the entire flag
Low resolution?	As an SVG, the resolution is arbitrarily scalable, but the detail level is suitable for article use and not other uses
Purpose of use	The image is used to identify the organization African Union, a subject of public interest. The significance of the logo is to help the reader identify the organization, assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the organization, and illustrate the organization's intended branding message in a way that words alone could not convey.Discussion of a graphical image such as a flag necessitates use of the image
Replaceable?	Any image of this flag will look essentially the same, and if it did not, it would not be of this flag, and thus not suitable to illustrate discussion of this flag.
Other information	Previously uploaded at Commons, same file name, and subsequently deleted per discussion at Commons:Deletion requests/Logo of the African Union.svg). History of artwork given below to meet GFDL requirements

Non-free image rationale for Flag of the African Union
