United Nations UNMOGIP Kashmir Peacekeeping Medal Ribbon – New Old Stock
An unused New Old Stock (NOS) medal ribbon representing the United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP), one of the United Nations' longest-running military observer missions.
Historical Background
Following the partition of British India in 1947, India and Pakistan became involved in an armed conflict over the disputed territory of Jammu and Kashmir.
In January 1948, the United Nations Security Council established the United Nations Commission for India and Pakistan (UNCIP) to investigate the dispute and assist in restoring peace.
The first United Nations military observers arrived in Kashmir in January 1949 to supervise the ceasefire between Indian and Pakistani forces. These personnel formed the foundation of UNMOGIP.
Following renewed hostilities in 1971, the mission continued monitoring developments relating to the ceasefire and reporting its observations to the United Nations Secretary-General.
UNMOGIP remains an active United Nations mission.
Why It Was Awarded
The UNMOGIP Medal recognizes qualifying military observers who have served with the United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan.
The decoration is awarded following six months of qualifying service with the mission.
The ribbon features shades of green representing the Himalayan region and Kashmir Valley, narrow white stripes symbolizing snow-covered mountains, and United Nations blue at either edge.
