United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC)

The United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) was a peacekeeping mission established in 1992 to help restore stability and governance after years of civil conflict and the Khmer Rouge regime. Its goal was to oversee Cambodia’s peace process, including voter registration, elections, and national reconciliation. UNTAC managed civilian administration, trained the new government, and helped disarm factions, facilitating a peaceful transition to democracy. It played a vital role in stabilizing Cambodia during a critical post-conflict period, setting the foundation for sustainable peace and development.
