United Nations Medal - UNAMET, UNTAET, UNMISET, UNOTIL and UNMIT

UNAMET, UNTAET, UNMISET, UNOTIL and UNMIT

In some countries where the UN Security Council determines a mission in the same geographic region, but changes the mission mandate by way of Security Council Resolution, there may be a number of missions which have identical campaign ribbons and then later will change the ribbon to reflect the changing environment.

For example in East Timor, UNAMET, UNTAET and UNMISET all carry the same ribbon bar, whilst UNOTIL and UNMIT have a UN Special Services campaign with clasp denoting area of prescribed service.
