The United Nations Mission in Sudan (UNMIS) was established under UN
Security Council Resolution 1590 of 24 March 2005 with a mandate to
support implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement and to perform functions relating to humanitarian assistance and protection and
promotion of human rights. Awarded for 90 days consecutive service
between 24 March 2005 to the present. The UN strictly applies their
medals policy and will not consider requests for initial issue of the UN
medals that are submitted more than one year after repatriation from the
mission area. The qualifying service is not required for members killed or
presumed killed while on assignment. In such cases, the medal may be
awarded posthumously.
