Ribbon of the order

The National Order of Merit (Spanish: Orden Nacional del Mérito) of Paraguay is an award given by the government of Paraguay. The award was first established in 1865 and can be given to any person or organization that has contributed in some way to the benefit of Paraguay.

It is the highest distinction awarded by the Republic of Paraguay. The President of the Republic of Paraguay holds as a lifetime honour (unless removed by impeachment) the Grand Cross of the Order, known as Presidential Collar (or Cordon) of Marshal López. [1]

About

The National Order of Merit is given to a person or an organization who has contributed to the benefit of Paraguay in various fields of endeavor.[2] This can include through culture, leadership, and science, among others.[2]

The medal was designed as a five-pointed star with the words "honor et gloria" on the front and "premium meriti" on the reverse.[3]

History

The National Order of Merit was established on April 8, 1865 by Francisco Solano López.[3] In 1867, López declared that women were eligible to earn the award.[4] The award was based on the French Legion of Honor and had several different levels.[5] The highest level was the Grand Cross.[5] The other levels were Knight, Official, Commander and Grand Official.[5]

On September 7, 1956, Law No. 394 was passed with several provisions regarding the awarding of the National Order of Merit.[6]
