Summary/Abstract: The image of a state in international relations, its position in various issues concerning the contemporary world, its credibility etc. are all elements that define the concept of national prestige. National prestige is not for granted and does not represent a common feature that may be acquired and may disappear at any time. Because its essence is value, the notion incorporates everything valuable in that nation all along its history, as well as its contribution to world heritage, its level of culture and civilization, its behavioral pattern and even its character. National prestige is promoted and cultivated, because it has great significance not only when it comes to relations between states and international organizations, but also in the life of every citizen, especially when being in another country. However national prestige should also be protected, since it may be the target of various attacks, more or less aggressive and motivated. This supreme value of the Romanian people has always been the target of the most unusual attacks from those who wish for us to lose our identity and alongside our historical right to live in our homeland. That is why national prestige should be protected by any means, including by legal ones.
