The United Nations Advance Mission in Cambodia (UNAMIC) was established in October 1991 with the goal of assisting the Cambodian factions in facilitating communication between their military headquarters regarding ceasefire arrangements. In addition, UNAMIC was tasked with conducting mine-awareness training for the Cambodian population. The mission’s mandate was later expanded to include training in mine clearance and the initiation of a comprehensive demining programme, addressing one of Cambodia’s most pressing post-conflict challenges.
UNAMIC operated until March 1992, when it was integrated into the larger United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC), which was established to oversee the transition to peace and democratic governance in Cambodia.
Personnel who served in UNAMIC for a minimum of 90 days were eligible to receive the UNAMIC Medal. The medal's ribbon design incorporates:
- A central white stripe: Representing peace,
- Dark blue, gold, and red stripes: Reflecting the colours of the Cambodian flag,
- UN blue bands: Symbolising the United Nations' presence and support.
Countries contributing liaison officers or troops to UNAMIC included: Algeria, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bangladesh, Belgium, Canada, China, France, Germany, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Malaysia, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, New Zealand, Pakistan, Poland, the Russian Federation, Senegal, Tunisia, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Uruguay.
UNAMIC’s efforts were critical in laying the groundwork for UNTAC’s broader mandate, particularly in the areas of demining and facilitating the peace process between Cambodia's warring factions.
