Collar of Honor

The Collar of Honour (Arabic: قلادة الشرف, romanized: qilāda aš-šarufa) is a state decoration of Sudan established in 1956 after Sudan independence. The collar is awarded to the Head of state of Sudan and foreign countries.

It is not permissible to repeat awarding of decorations and medals, or to rise from one class to a higher one, except after the lapse of at least three years from the date of awarding them. This period is reduced to one year for employees if they are referred to retirement. Orders and medals remain the property of the awardee, and their heirs as a souvenir without any of them having the right to carry it. Without prejudice to any other punishment stipulated in the laws of Sudan, it is permissible, by order of the President of the Republic, to strip the bearer of a necklace, sash, medal, medallion, cloak of honour, or belt if they commit an act that is dishonourable or inconsistent with loyalty to the state.
