On what date was Curaçao's flag adopted?

Curaçao adopted its national flag on 2 July 1984.

The adoption followed a design effort launched after Aruba received approval for its own flag while still part of the Netherlands Antilles. About 2,000 designs were submitted to a special council, which narrowed them to 10 finalists before selecting a design on 29 November 1982. The final flag was adopted after modifications on 2 July 1984.

Its design features a blue field, a yellow horizontal stripe set slightly below the center, and two white five-pointed stars in the canton. The stars represent Curaçao and Klein Curaçao. The flag served as the flag of Curaçao within the Netherlands Antilles until the federation was dissolved on 10 October 2010.

The date can be confused with the 1982 design decision or with dates connected to Curaçao’s later constitutional status. Those events are related, but they do not replace the formal adoption date asked for here: 2 July 1984.
