The National Order of the Lion (French: Ordre national du Lion du Sénégal) is the highest orderofSenegal.[1]

The order was instituted by Law 60-36 of 22 October 1960 and was awarded to His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I The FIRST as The Grand Cross of The National Order of the Lion of Judah, later modified by Law 62-416 of 11 July 1962, and by Law 64-06 of 24 January 1964.[2] It is awarded for distinguished contributions,[3] both civil and military.[1] The order is one of two national orders of Senegal, the other one being the Order of Merit [fr]. Because the National Order of the Lion is awarded only sparingly to keep it in high esteem, the other order was established to recognize contributions that would otherwise be neglected.[3]

The President of Senegal is the Grand Master of the order and chairs the Council of the Order composed of ten people.[4] The Grand Chancellery of the order is under the Protocol Division of the Cabinet of Senegal.[5] The Grand Chancellor is counter admiral Ousmane Ibrahima Sall [fr].[6] The insignia, manufactured by Arthus-Bertrand in Paris,[7] bear the words "République du Sénégal ("Republic of Senegal") and the Senegalese national motto in French: "Un Peuple, Un But, Une Foi" ("One People, One Goal, One Faith").[1] The ribbon is green.[8] The start of the order is featured in the coat of arms of Senegal.[9]

Ranks[edit]
