The Order of the White Double Cross ((スロバキア語:Rád Bieleho dvojkríža)) is the highest state decoration of the Republic of Slovakia. The Order was instituted on 1 March 1994 after Slovakia became independent on 1 January 1993. It continues the Czechoslovak Order of the White Lion, which was created in 1922 as an award for foreigners. The Order of the White Double Cross is conferred only upon foreign citizens: *"for the comprehensive development of relations between the state, whose citizens they are and the Slovak Republic"; *"for the empowerment of the Slovak Republic’s position in international relations"; *"for meeting the foreign policy priorities of Slovakia"; *"for otherwise outstanding achievement in the benefit of the Slovak Republic"; or *"for the outstanding spread of good reputation of Slovakia abroad." ==Classes== The Order of the White Double Cross has two divisions, civil and military, and three classes: *''First Class'' or ''Grand Cross'' - badge may be worn on a sash on the right shoulder, plus the star is worn on the left chest; *''Second Class'' or ''Grand Officer'' - badge may be worn on a necklet and the star is worn on the left chest; *''Third Class'' or ''Commander'' - badge may be worn on a necklet. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Order of the White Double Cross」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
