You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((short description|Recognitions awarded by the President of the Czech Republic))
((refimprove|date=January 2015))

'''State decorations of the Czech Republic''' recognize outstanding acts of service to the [[Czech Republic]].  They are awarded by the [[President of the Czech Republic]], usually, but not necessarily, on the recommendation of the [[Chamber of Deputies of the Czech Republic|Chamber of Deputies]], the [[Senate of the Czech Republic|Senate]] or the [[Prime Minister of the Czech Republic]]. They may also be promulgated solely on the president's authority.  They come in two varieties:  ''[[order (distinction)|orders]]'' being the higher honor and ''[[medals]]'' the lower.

==History==
((expand section|date=January 2015))
As originally envisioned by the [[constitution of the Czech Republic|constitution]] in 1992, the president had little more than a ceremonial role with respect to [[state decoration]]s. Article 63 promulgated an order or an award on the recommendation of the government, as expressed by the signature of the Prime Minister. The constitution did not clearly give the president a way to refuse such a referral, unless it came to him by way of a law to be enacted, thus subject to his [[veto]]. Nothing in the constitution suggests that a recommendation for decoration be voted on by parliament.<ref>[http://www.hrad.cz/en/ustava_cr/index.shtml Constitution of the Czech Republic] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081220003426/http://www.hrad.cz/en/ustava_cr/index.shtml |date=2008-12-20 ))</ref>

Article 63 allows for the president to be granted powers by a lesser law to "exercise powers not explicitly defined in the Constitutional Act".  Such a law came into effect in 1994, which allowed for the president to award state decorations on his own authority.<ref name=StateDec>[http://www.hrad.cz/en/stat_vyznamenani/zakon_vyzn.shtml Act No. 157/1994, The Act on the State Decorations of the Czech Republic] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080802031656/http://www.hrad.cz/en/stat_vyznamenani/zakon_vyzn.shtml |date=2008-08-02 ))</ref> It also seemed to multiply the [[legislature|legislative]] routes by which a person could be recommended for an award.  As a consequence of this 1994 change, the Senate, the Chamber of Deputies, the Government, or the President can all recommend a person to receive a decorations.  In any of these cases, however, it is still the responsibility of the president, or his designee,  to actually present the award.

The Act on the State Decorations of the Czech Republic 1994 codifies what are the orders and medals capable of being conferred or awarded.  Annexes (or amendments) to the Act instructed that the designs for the insignia associated with the state decorations should be chosen following a public competition.

By law, insignia for all state decorations are individually numbered, and accompanied by a matching numbered certificate.

== Bestowal rules ==
The Order is conferred upon citizens of the Czech Republic and awarded to persons who are not citizens of the Czech Republic.

After the demise of a holder of an order who was a Czech citizen  his/her numbered insignia of the order is returned to the Office of the President of the Republic. After the demise of a person who has been decorated with a medal or the demise of a holder of an order who was not a citizen of the Czech Republic the survivors will keep both the insignia and the certificate on the award. If there are no survivors the insignia and the certificate will be returned to the Office of the President.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.hrad.cz/en/czech-republic/state-decorations/the-act-on-the-state-decorations-of-the-cr|title=The Act on the State Decorations of the CR|last=www.fg.cz, 2015|first=FG Forrest, a s|website=Prague Castle|language=en|access-date=2019-09-23))</ref>

By law, President of the Czech Republic is entitled to the class I insignia of this order; after leaving the office, the order may be conferred upon him for life by a joint resolution of the [[Chamber of Deputies of the Czech Republic|Chamber of Deputies]] and the [[Senate of the Czech Republic|Senate]].

The days designated for the bestowal of decorations is January 1 and October 28. By tradition the president presents the honors and awards  in the evening of October 28 during a ceremony held at the [[Prague Castle]].
