Description

Brazil enacted Law No. 5,700, known as the Law of National Symbols. The law regulates the form and presentation of Brazil’s national symbols, including the National Flag, National Anthem, National Seal, and Coat of Arms. It standardizes how these symbols must be displayed, used, and respected in official and public contexts. The statute also includes detailed technical rules (for example, flag proportions and official descriptions) to prevent inconsistent or improper use.
