UNITED NATIONS: Commemorative military medal for the peace
keeping operation (UNTAC) in Cambodia (1992-1993).
UNTAC was established in 1992. UNTAC involved approximately
15,900 military, 3,400 civilian police, 2,000 civilians and
450 UN Volunteers.
UNTAC's aim was to restore peace and civil government in a
country ruined by decades of civil war and Cold War machinations.
Despite UNTAC's boasting of its effectiveness, the Mission
failed to disarm the Khmer Rouge, while effectively disarmed
the SOC's local militias. This bias allowed the Khmer Rouge
to make territorial gains and gave rise to political violence.
The medal itself is rare as the mission lasted only 1 year.
This medal was issued to French personnel.
Scarce.
