About this statute

This article says the law sets out the mission, organization, and functioning of the Chancellery for Heroes, National Orders and Decorations of Honour, and the procedures for selecting national heroes, recipients of honours, and protectors of the friendship pact. The Chancellery has legal personality and is independent, with autonomy over governance, staff management, finances, and assets. The Chancellery’s head office is in Rwanda’s capital, and the Prime Minister may approve moving it elsewhere in the country or creating branches when needed. The Chancellery is supervised by the ministry responsible for culture, except matters about national heroes, national orders, or decorations of honour, which are within the President of the Republic’s powers. The Chancellery’s mission is to identify and recognize Rwandans or foreigners who have shown heroic acts or other outstanding deeds.
