UNTAC was established in February 1992, incorporating the existing Mission,
UNAMIC. The mandate for this Mission relates to human rights, the
organisation and conduct of free and fair elections, military arrangements,
civil administration, the maintenance of law and order, the repatriation and
resettlement of the Cambodian refugees and displaced persons, and the rehabilitation of essential Cambodian infrastructures during the transitional
period. After the elections, the Mission was closed on 15 November 1993 and
replaced by the United Nations Military Liaison Team (UNMLT). Consisting of
20 military observers, their task was to maintain close liaison with the
Cambodian Government, to report to the Secretary-General on matters
effecting security in Cambodia and to assist the Government in dealing with
residual military matters related to the Paris Agreement. UNMLT was
established for a single period of six months. Military Observers are eligible to
receive the UNTAC. Awarded for 90 days consecutive service from 16 March
1992 to 15 November 1993.
