The Order of Merit is a Lebanese order of merit and the highest honorary decoration in Lebanon. Founded on 16 January 1922 by the mandate authorities, it has since its inception rewarded civilians who perform acts of chivalry and loyalty to the Nation. It can be awarded posthumously to those who deserve it.

History

With the declaration of the State of Greater Lebanon in 1920, the mandate authorities sought to create a special medal to be awarded by the Lebanese government, named the "Lebanese Order of Merit." A competition was organized to select the best design, which was won by the artist Georges Corm. His winning design depicted a Lebanese man in traditional costume preventing a lion from attacking a Lebanese village. The ruler of Greater Lebanon issued Resolution 108 on 16 January 1922, with the first article stipulating: "An honorary medal called the Lebanese Medal of Merit has been created to reward those who perform acts of chivalry and loyalty, and it can be awarded posthumously to those who deserve it."^[1]

The Order of Lebanese Merit was established by Decision No. 1080 on 16 January 1922, and is governed by the decree relating to the code of decorations (Law No. 122 of 12 June 1959).
