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.

The length of the chain is 36 inches, in the middle of which is a drawing of the emblem of the Democratic Republic of Sudan (Secretarybird).

[5] The collar has a gold ornament that connects to the chain with a clasp – and the ornament is of an Islamic style adorned with three green gemstones with a red sapphire in the middle – and in its centre is a prominent drawing of four crescents that symbolise religion, goodness, prosperity and happiness.

It is worn around the neck and is accompanied by a large medal (medallion) carried on the chest on the left side.
