Here you'll find the images for the flag of the OAS (Organization of American States, Organizacion de Estados Americanos). I'm sending two versions, since the size of the OAS seal depicted on the flag is not specified on the official description I found at www.oas.org I might, in any case, redraw it, since I believe the resizing of the seal came out to be very crude and since I think I might have gotten the order of the flags wrong (they are supposedly arranged alphabetically but I am not sure if they are so in English or Spanish, since the seal at the page was very small...).
