About Bolivia and its flag
Bolivia’s Constitution names the red, yellow and green tricolour as one of the State’s symbols, alongside the Wiphala and other emblems. Its standard presentation is a horizontal three-band flag, with red above yellow above green. The official gazette records Supreme Decree No. 241 of 5 August 2009 on State symbols.
Flag design and meaning
The design is a horizontal tricolour of three equal bands: red at the top, yellow through the centre, and green at the bottom. The placement is essential for recognition, so use the complete red–yellow–green sequence rather than merely identifying the three colours.
- The tricolour’s colours: Law No. 920 collectively links the tricolour’s colours to the heroes of the State’s founding and continuity, mineral riches, natural wealth, and hope in Bolivia.
History and adoption
Article 6 of Bolivia’s Constitution includes the red, yellow and green tricolour in its list of State symbols. The official gazette entry for Supreme Decree No. 241, published on 5 August 2009, concerns those symbols and their regulation; these are legal reference points rather than evidence of a single adoption event.
How to recognise this flag
- Read the bands from top to bottom: red, yellow, then green.
- On an official display, distinguish it from the Wiphala: the Constitution lists the red-yellow-green tricolour and the Wiphala as separate State symbols.
