National Order of Honor and Merit
The National Order of Honor and Merit is the highest honor of merit awarded by the President of the Republic of Haiti. The Order was instituted on May 28, 1926 and is awarded in five grades (Grand Cross, Grand Officer, Commander, Officer, and Knight) to both Haitians and foreign nationals. The award is given to acknowledge distinction in not only the realms of diplomacy and politics but also the arts, charitable works, and other fields of benefit or interest to Haiti.
The Order is a white enamel Maltese cross with laterally-pierced ball suspension. The obverse has a circular central medallion bearing the coat-of Arms arms Haiti within a blue enamel ring inscribed, MEDAILLE HONNEUR ET MERITE. The reverse circular central medallion is inscribed, REPUBLIQUE D'HAITI within a blue enamel ring inscribed in gilt letters, LIBERTE EGALITE FRATERNITE.
