    Uman, Sultanate of Oman, Saltanat 'Uman

Flag adopted 18th October 1995, coat-of-arms adopted 23rd July 1985

Description
On 25 April 1995 certain changes were introduced to the Omani national flag by virtue of a directive of the Sultan. The general appearance of the flag remains the same except that the horizontal stripes are now of equal width. The vertical stripe along the hoist is one-[fourth] of the flag's length and the flag's proportions are now 1:2. The colours and the emblem in the canton remain unchanged.

Bruce Berry, 23 November 1995

The basic law of Oman states: Article (4) The law shall determine the State's Flag, its Emblem, its decorations and medals and its National Anthem. See the Oman website for more information.

Joan-Frances Blanc, 11 May 1998

When the proportions of the flag were changed in 1995 from 2:3 to 1:2, the width of the vertical red stripe at hoist was also modified from 1/3rd to 1/4th of the fly. This is confirmed by my personal observations during my stay in Oman and the middle-sized flag I bought there. Some sources keep the original and therefore too wide red stripe.

Ivan Sache, 4 August 1998

From the Oman Ministry of Information website:

The National Flag was raised for the first time on 17th December 1970. The flag carries the Sultanate's emblem of two crossed swords with a khanjar and belt superimposed. White depicts the conviction of the Omani people in peace and prosperity. Red, which is dominant, has been adopted from the old Omani flag (which was red) and this symbolises the battles fought by Omanis for the eviction of foreign invaders from the country, and green represents fertility and greenery of the land.
Before the 25th National Day in November 1995 new regulations were introduced for the proportion of the three colours, the dimensions of the flag and the height of the poles on which it may be flown, according to the building and purpose.
