United Nations Yemen Observation Mission (UNYOM)
The United Nations Yemen Observation Mission (UNYOM) was established in July 1963 to observe and verify the implementation of the disengagement agreement between Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Republic (Egypt).

The UNYOM medal ribbon features a central wide bar with varying shades of brown, symbolising the dry, rugged mountainous terrain of Yemen, while lighter shades represent the desert. The centre is flanked by two stripes of UN blue. A minimum of 60 days of service was required to qualify for the award of the medal.
Troops for this mission were contributed by Australia, Austria, Canada, Denmark, Ghana, India, Italy, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Sweden, the United States of America, and Yugoslavia.
