 National flag -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article
When a national flag is displayed together with flags other than national flags, it should be flown on a separate flagstaff, either higher or in the position of honor.
There are many regulations concerning the display of national flags, but the general rule is that the national flag should be flown in the position of honor, and not in an inferior position to any other flag (although some countries make an exception for royal standards).
When a national flag is displayed together with any other flag on crossed staffs, the National Flag must be on the observer's left and its staff must be in front of the staff of the other flag.
