“In witness of having signed this document with our own hand...” Several notes on the topic of authentication of warrants to honours of the Armed Forces of the Slovak Republic

• Languages of publication: SK

Abstracts

EN

Based on a brief overview of both historical and contemporary practice abroad and home, the author demonstrates that the warrants have always been signed in own hand of the person awarding the honours and stamped by their official stamp, since that is the only way how they became valid and efficient for legal actions. The only known exception is represented by the warrants of appointment of some of the honours of the Armed Forces of the Slovak Republic, which are not signed or stamped and the name of the person awarding the honours is also missing, being replaced by their function with the “v.r.” abbreviation (“vlastnou rukou” - “manu propria”, “m.p.” - “in one’s own hand”). The author points out to the formal mistakes of these warrants, questioning the arguments why the warrants cannot be signed and at the same time submitting a proposal how to solve this issue.
