Philippines
editI've reverted this edit as original research. This interpretation, that Article XVI § 1 of the 1987 Philippine constitution explains why flag desecration is illegal in the Philippines, would need to be supported by a cited reliable source.

Clarification of "disproportionately"
editIn
the word disproportionately bothers me -- its meaning here is, I think, unclear. I think the first of the two sources cited was intended to support the use of that word here. That source says:
Quoting that directly rather than characterizing it as disproportionately would meet WP's citing guidelines but would, I think, give a false impression of what the source attributed inline there said. I'm guessing here, but I think the info came from https://mappingpoliceviolence.org/; that web page changes frequently, a snapshot as of today can be seen here. That says in part:
Database updated as of 6/23/2020
Actually, it's not immediately clear to me how to get a 2.5 times figure from that but I'm guessing that it could be done.
Digging around, though, I found Lynne Peeples (September 4, 2019). "What the data say about police shootings". Nature. which says "One paper published in August found that a black man is 2.5 times more likely than a white man to be killed by the police during his lifetime" and cites "Risk of being killed by police use of force in the United States by age, race–ethnicity, and sex". PNAS. 116 (34): 16793–16798. August 20, 2019. doi:10.1073/pnas.1821204116. (first published August 5, 2019)
I updated the article to cite the Nature and PNAS sources. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 17:01, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

New laws in Greece (as of July 1st, 2019)
editLaw 4619/2019 in Greece abolished the law 188 the article sugggests (to date). 2 new laws articles were created: Article 191A punishes desecration of domestic national symbols, including the flag. Article 155 punishes desecration of international symbols. However it specifies that the punishment: - must be associated with hate or disdain against a country, - this country is at peace with Greece, - Greece recognises its existence as a country.
Same applies if the national anthem of a country is interrupted or disturbed with other sounds. A punishment must be demanded by the insulted government in order to be in effect any kind of punishment.
Effectively, that means that Greece punishes both domestic and internation flag desecrations.

Indonesia
editIt is illegal or legal to damage the flag of indonesia? I hope anyone can help answer my question. 2404:8000:1027:85F6:109A:5AA:7E5E:48DA (talk) 03:15, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- According to Law 24 of 2009 about the flag, language, state symbols and the national anthem of Indonesia: “Any person who destroys, rips, trampled, burns, or commits any other act with the intention of tarnishing, insulting or degrading the honour of the state flag [ …] shall be sentenced to a maximum imprisonment of five years or a maximum fine of 500 million rupiah (US$32,600).” FireDragonValo (talk) 00:31, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
Inappropriate images
edit@FireDragonValo: You undid my edit which removed decorative images from the article, with the edit summary "MOS:IMAGERELEVANCE: remove images not significant to flag desecration; not the right article for a list of national flags: see Gallery of sovereign state flags". I do not agree with your reversion, and am following WP:BRD here.
You did not provide an edit summary for your reversion, as required, so I do not know why you have reinstated images which are not appropriate for the article and seem to fulfil no purpose other than decoration, contrary to MOS:IMAGERELEVANCE.
I will remove the images again unless you can demonstrate which policy supports their inclusion. Regards, Bazza (talk) 09:57, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
- In the absence of any reason for keeping these inappropriate images, I have deleted them. Bazza (talk) 14:11, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
The World Burning Issues
editHi,descration is about to be made public violence and the violation of human dignity and abuse of countries constitutional rights as seen earlier in South Africa and backwards at some countries it did happen and to urinate on public fag is illegal or burning it . Some political leaders they provoke states without knowing or with an intention to either killed or kill those obey the rules of present government at that time. It takes a decades to draft national flag and many things occurred before any national flag published together with the constitution of such countries and those voters rights must be respected by those willing or those not willing .
