United Nations Angola
Verification Mission
United Nations Angola
Verification Mission (UNAVEM) was a series of three United Nations
observer missions involving Canadians.
UN Mandate
UNAVEM I was
to confirm the withdrawal of Cuban troops from Angola and to monitor the
cease-fire agreement between the government of Angola and the Union for
Total Independence of Angola (UNITA).
UNAVEM II
began following a peace accord which was signed in Lisbon in May 1991
and Canadian officers joined the observers to ensure the final
withdrawal of Cuban and South African forces.
UNAVEM III
was mandated to monitor the implementation of the Lusaka Protocol in
1995 by Resolution 976. UNAVEM III was also charged with helping the
parties achieve national reconciliation. UNAVEM III’s mandate ended in
Jun 1997 with the establishment of the United Nations Observer Mission
in Angola (MONUA) by SC Resolution 1118.
Canadian
Military Involvement
Canada
participated in UNAVEM II from Jul 1991 to Apr 1993 and contributed 15
UN Military Observers during that period (Operation PASTEL).
Insignia
|
 |
Ninety
days service with the mission between 20 Dec 1988 and 31 Jun 1997
entitled a Canadian serviceman to the UNAVEM Medal. (Canadian
participation did not start until May 1991, however.) The ribbon
consisted of 9 coloured stripes; 8mm yellow, 2mm red, 2mm white,
1mm black, 9mm UN blue, 1mm black), 2mm white, 2mm red, and 8mm
yellow. |
The medal was
awarded to 15 Canadian observers.
