Order of Honor
In secular and ecclesiastical institutions , in political parties but also in associations and legal associations , an honorary order regulates how their members and relatives are to be honored . Furthermore, in an honorary order, it can be determined under which circumstances and occasions a special honor in the form of an order or a badge of honor should and can be bestowed on the members. It should not be confused with the term “ code of honor ”.
