The Order of the Hero of the Liberation War (Bosnian: Orden heroja oslobodilačkog rata) was the highest military decoration of the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina during the Bosnian War. Nine members of the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina were awarded the honor posthumously. Under the same conditions, the Order could have been received by military units and institutions.

The medal is made of metal: silver Ag 999/1000, gold-plated with Au 24kt, and has 45 sapphires. The dimensions of the order are approx. 100×60mm.[1]

Based on amendment LI, point 5, paragraph 3, to the Constitution of the Republic of BiH and Article 4 of the Decree with legal force on decorations of the Republic of BiH (Official Gazette of the Republic of BiH, No. 9/94), this order was awarded:

"For the heroic contribution to the war of liberation, exceptional heroism and self-sacrifice manifested in combat actions, and at the same time achieved exceptional results that served as an example, incentive and additional motive for the comrades and citizens for further successful opposition to the aggressor in RBiH."[2]
