These guidelines ensure the flag is represented consistently and respectfully in all official use.

ABOUT

The Belize Flag

The Belize Flag consists of a blue field bordered by a narrow red stripe at the top and bottom. At its center, the Coat of Arms is enclosed within a white disc and surrounded by 50 scorn-of-the-earth leaves, symbolic of 1950 when Belize’s modern independence movement began.

The Belize Flag was officially adopted on September 21, 1981.
