United Nations UNYOM Yemen Observation Mission Medal Ribbon – New Old Stock
An unused New Old Stock (NOS) medal ribbon representing the United Nations Yemen Observation Mission (UNYOM), an international military observer operation established during the North Yemen Civil War.
Historical Background
In September 1962, a military coup overthrew the monarchy in North Yemen, resulting in a civil war between republican forces and supporters of the former royal government.
The conflict soon attracted foreign involvement, with Egypt supporting the republican government and Saudi Arabia providing assistance to royalist forces.
On June 11, 1963, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 179, supporting the establishment of the United Nations Yemen Observation Mission (UNYOM).
The mission was tasked with observing and reporting on the disengagement arrangements between Egypt and Saudi Arabia, including the withdrawal of Egyptian forces and the cessation of Saudi assistance to royalist forces.
United Nations military observers were stationed in Yemen to monitor developments and report potential violations of the agreed arrangements.
UNYOM operated from July 1963 until September 1964, when the mission was terminated.
Why It Was Awarded
The UNYOM Medal recognized qualifying military personnel who served with the United Nations Yemen Observation Mission.
The decoration commemorates their contributions to international military observation, conflict monitoring, and efforts to reduce foreign involvement in the North Yemen Civil War.
