The UNTAET UN Transitional Administration in East Timor Medal is a notable international award, instituted in 2000 by the United Nations. This medal is given in recognition of the service of military, police, and civilian personnel who have participated in the United Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor (UNTAET). The mission's mandate was to administer the territory, exercise legislative and executive authority during the transition period, and support capacity-building for self-government.
Eligibility for the UNTAET UN Transitional Administration in East Timor Medal includes the following:
The 35-millimeter-diameter circular medal is made of bronze. The obverse displays the emblem of the United Nations: a map of the world, encircled by olive branches, symbolizing peace. The reverse carries the inscription 'IN THE SERVICE OF PEACE'.
The accompanying ribbon, 35 millimeters wide, is comprised of a series of stripes in various colours. The central band of UN blue is flanked by a thin white stripe and a wider band of UN blue. These colours are followed by a thin white stripe, a wide light blue stripe, and a thin dark blue stripe. The light blue and dark blue represent the sky and sea of East Timor, while the white stands for peace.
SPECIFICATIONS:Every replica medal can be supplied loose or mounted ready to wear. Here's how the options differ, so you can choose the right one.
The medals are fixed to a stiff backing board so they sit flat and stay in line while worn. It's the neatest presentation, and serving members of the Australian Defence Force are required to wear their medals court mounted.
Each medal hangs freely from its ribbon below a top bar. This was the usual style from the Boer War through to World War II, and there are no fixed rules about who can wear it.
Just the ribbons, mounted in order of precedence on a small bar. Ribbon bars are worn on uniform day to day, when full medals would be impractical.
The medal and ribbon come as separate parts, ready for you or your mounter to assemble. Full size medals come with 30cm of ribbon and miniatures with 15cm.
Miniatures are mounted the same way at a smaller scale. They're worn at evening and formal events, generally anything after 6pm such as dinners, where full size medals would be impractical.
Every style comes with a traditional pin or a magnetic fitting. Magnetic mounts hold firmly without putting holes in your jacket or uniform, and are easier to put on and take off, which helps anyone with limited dexterity.
