Appearance

The UN Special Service Medal is a circular bronze medal 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 UN. The reverse is plain except for the words "In the Service of Peace" in relief. This design is common to the all United Nations Medals starting with the UNTSO Medal and the UNMOGIP Medal and follows the current convention of a common medal design with a varying ribbon.[5]

The ribbon of the UN Special Service Medal is wide stripe of light blue, often referred to as UN Blue,[3] with white edges.

Claps or medal bars are worn on the ribbon of the medal to denote areas of service with the country name where the service took place, or the name of the UN organization involved.[3] Examples are a "Timor Leste" clasp for service with UNOTIL in East Timor,[4] "Afghanistan" for service with UNAMA in Afghanistan,[4] or "UNSCOM" for service in Iraq.[2]
