United Nations UNIIMOG Iran–Iraq Military Observer Medal Ribbon – New Old Stock
An unused New Old Stock (NOS) medal ribbon representing the United Nations Iran–Iraq Military Observer Group (UNIIMOG), an international military observer mission established following the Iran–Iraq War.
Historical Background
The Iran–Iraq War began in September 1980 and continued for nearly eight years, becoming one of the longest and most destructive conflicts of the late twentieth century.
Following extensive international diplomatic efforts, Iran and Iraq accepted a ceasefire under United Nations Security Council Resolution 598.
On August 9, 1988, the United Nations Security Council formally established UNIIMOG through Resolution 619 to verify, confirm, and supervise the ceasefire and withdrawal of military forces to internationally recognized boundaries.
The ceasefire took effect on August 20, 1988.
United Nations military observers were deployed to both countries, where they monitored troop movements, investigated alleged ceasefire violations, and helped reduce tensions between the former combatants.
UNIIMOG continued its operations until February 28, 1991.
Why It Was Awarded
The UNIIMOG Medal recognized qualifying military observers and other eligible personnel who served with the United Nations Iran–Iraq Military Observer Group.
The decoration commemorates their contributions to ceasefire monitoring, international diplomacy, and peacekeeping following the eight-year Iran–Iraq War.
