The lectern icon there is used in other screens as an icon for the Diplomatic Favor currency. So it may be the World Congress screen, or a report screen about Diplomatic Favor sources, etc.
I haven't been following this thread too closely, but anybody notice this yet?
I'm hoping this is indicative of some kind of world relation stats being available from the diplomacy screen. If that's the case, I'm also hoping that it's available when a leader just approaches you out of the blue about friendship or promises and similar things.
