The current one was introduced in 2006 and depicts a leopard head, surrounded by an elephant tusk to the left and a spear to the right. Below are the three words which make up the national motto: ''Justice, Paix, Travail'' (''Justice, Peace, Work'' in French). It was adopted on February 18, 2006 by President Joseph Kabila. The arms are described in detail in Section 1, Article 1 of the 2005 constitution.〔(Constitution de la République démocratique du Congo )〕 The old emblem, which was introduced in 2003, depicted three interlocked hands surrounded by a garland of corn. At the top is a lion head and at the bottom the motto ''Démocratie, Justice, Unité'' (''Democracy, Justice, Unity'' in French). The coat of arms of the Democratic Republic of the Congo from 1999 consists of a light blue shield. In the middle is a yellow star, above which there are six smaller stars. This coat of arms was introduced along with the flag. An even older arms from 1971 to 1997, when the nation was known as Zaire, depicted a leopard head, below it a pair of crossed spears, around it a branch and an elephant tusk. The words ''Paix, Justice, Travail'' are written on a white band under the spears.
