On 20 February 1944 it was confirmed by the pro-Soviet Polish government, the State National Council and on 22 December by the Polish Committee of National Liberation. Further confirmed on 17 February 1960 by the government of the People's Republic of Poland. After the fall of communism, it was dismissed in 1992 by anti-communist government.
