United Nations Emergency Force II (UNEF II) Medal Ribbon – New Old Stock
An unused New Old Stock (NOS) medal ribbon representing the Second United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF II), an international peacekeeping operation established following the 1973 Arab–Israeli War, also known as the Yom Kippur War.
Historical Background
On October 6, 1973, Egyptian and Syrian forces launched coordinated attacks against Israeli positions in the Sinai Peninsula and Golan Heights, beginning the Yom Kippur War.
Following weeks of intense fighting, the United Nations Security Council called for a ceasefire and negotiations between the opposing forces.
On October 25, 1973, the Security Council adopted Resolution 340, establishing the Second United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF II) to supervise the ceasefire between Egyptian and Israeli forces.
United Nations peacekeepers were deployed to the Sinai region, where they monitored the cessation of hostilities, supervised military disengagement agreements, and maintained buffer zones separating opposing forces.
The mission played an important role in reducing tensions and supporting diplomatic negotiations between Egypt and Israel.
UNEF II remained operational until July 24, 1979, following the signing of the Egyptian–Israeli Peace Treaty earlier that year.
Why It Was Awarded
The UNEF II Medal recognized qualifying military personnel who served with the Second United Nations Emergency Force.
The decoration commemorates their contributions to international peacekeeping, ceasefire supervision, and military disengagement efforts following the 1973 Arab–Israeli War.
