Flag of Uzbekistan
[6] On 27 December 2010, President Islam Karimov signed an amendment to the law that strengthened the protection of the country's symbols, including its flag and emblem.It banned the utilization of the flag of Uzbekistan for promotional and commercial purposes, including its usage in advertisements and documents.[8] More than 200 submissions were made, and a commission was formed in order to evaluate these suggestions coming from a variety of stakeholders.[9] The winning design was adopted on 18 November 1991,[8] after being selected at an extraordinary session of the Uzbek Supreme Soviet.[12] Pertaining to its tricolour combination of horizontal stripes of blue, white and green colour, it is similar to the flags of Lesotho, an enclaved country within the border of South Africa, and Puntland, a Somali federal state at the tip of the Horn.
