Combined political pressure from the United States, the Soviet Union and the United Nations resulted in the withdrawal of French, British and Israeli forces from Egyptian territory and the cessation of hostilities.[2] To maintain the peace the United Nations established its first Peacekeeping force, the United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF).[1] Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Denmark, India, Norway, Sweden and Yugoslavia provided troops to serve in the UNEF. The mission lasted from November 1956 until June 1967. Ninety days of service with the UNEF was required for award of the medal.[2] AppearanceThe medal, similar in appearance to other United Nations Medals, is a circular bronze medal {{convert|35|mm}} in diameter. The obverse depicts the official emblem of the United Nations, a world map oriented from the north pole. Above the emblem are the letters UNEF. The reverse is plain except for the words "In the Service of Peace" in relief. The medal is suspended from a sand yellow ribbon with an 8 mm central stripe of light blue. On either side of the central stripe, 3 mm from the edge, is a 1 mm stripe of dark blue 2 mm apart from a 1 mm stripe of dark green.[1] The sand yellow color of the ribbon represents the Sinai while the wide central stripe represented the UN. Of the two thin stripes, the blue represents the Suez Canal, and the green represents the Nile River Valley.[2] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=http://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/collections/cmdp/mainmenu/group05/unef |title=United Nations Emergency Force (Egypt)-UNEF |publisher=Veterans Affairs Canada|date= |accessdate=21 September 2012 }}{{Dead link|date=July 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} 2. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=https://www.un.org/en/peacekeeping/sites/medals/unef.htm |title=UN Medals - UNEF |publisher=Un.org |date=16 June 1997 |accessdate=21 September 2012}} 1 : Medals of the United Nations |
