IN behalf of/ ON behalf of






As we know, one small and innocent preposition can change the meaning of what we want to say. Here it comes an interesting example:

ON behalf of - on the part of, in the name of
IN behalf of - for the benefit of

On behalf of my government I would like to thank you for the money you raised in behalf of the refugees.
