Any kind of personal adornment, for example a medal or chain. They may be presented by a foreign government to a diplomat. Unlike a ‘present’ or ‘gift’, it is valuable only for the honour that it signifies, usually membership of some prestigious order. Decorations, like presents, have long been employed by governments in an attempt to influence diplomats accredited to them. It is for this reason that many diplomatic services now prohibit acceptance of both decorations and presents, or permit their acceptance only under very restricted conditions or where refusal would cause serious offence and damage relations. |
