In addition to declaring the beginning and the end of the conference, the slit used at the UN General Assembly is an important thing used for approval of agenda, selection of staff, resolutions, etc. It was awarded by the standing committee of Iceland once. Iceland 's " Albing " founded in 930 is said to be the oldest modern parliament in the world and it was thought that the Icelandic litter should be used in parliaments gathered all over the world.

Mr. Hjalmar W. Hannesson, formerly Iceland's former standing committee member, said about this slip, "When the United Nations headquarters was established here in the East River bank in New York in 1952, Iorand's first standing committee, Thor Thors Mr. Kimchi gave this petty to the chairman of the General Assembly of the United Nations, which led the gifts to be called "Tall gambels (saw noodles)" that is not a "tall hammer " I explain.

For the following 8 years saw 's slits continued to be used at the UN General Assembly, but in 1960 Irishman Frederick Boland, then chairman of the UN Congress of the then, destroyed it. Mr. Boland strongly hit the shirt so that the Nikita Khrushchev who was the supreme leader of the Soviet Union at the time was striking the desk with shoes was the reason why the plateau broke.

According to the report at the time, many standing committee members gave new litter to Mr. Boland, but in the end the United Nations asked Iceland whether to make an original copy. Later, the small copy of the gift that was awarded was active in the UN General Assembly for about half a century.

However, in 2005 the rickets of this copy are missing. The reason is unknown, but the United Nations once again asked Iceland to make a second copy. At this time, Mr. Sigridur Kristjansdottir, one of the most famous sculptors in Iceland, will be in charge of the creation.

Mr. Kristjansdottir was asked by the government that "Being a special sturdy ricket" based on past circumstances. So Kristjansdottir created petrels using pearless trees, and in this way it is not broken in 2018 as well.

It is said that Roti is engraved with the first section of prose work " Saga " of medieval Iceland of the 10th century. Mr. Hannesson said, "In this era, we accepted Christianity, stopped the internal conflict and unified the country, one of the rulers said that society" must be created on the law " It is said that it is said to have been said, this word is inscribed in the petit. "

Than the sound that is referred to as a tool of peace "gavel of the saw", a rather Vikings but sounds like a tool, in order to follow the nation of the leader hit the desk in the shoes, sometimes a tool of the Vikings It is said that it is necessary.
