UNITED NATIONS: United Nations Medal, UNTAC,
Cambodia 1992 1993.
The UNTAC medal was awarded for service with
the United Nations Transitional Authority in
Cambodia (UNTAC) between March 1992 and
September 1993.
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.
