What Does UNTAC Stand For?

UNTAC stands for United Nations Transitional Authority In Cambodia

UNTAC, or the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia, was a United Nations mission established in 1992 to facilitate the transition towards peace and democratic governance in Cambodia following a prolonged civil conflict. Its responsibilities included overseeing a ceasefire, disarming factions, and organizing free and fair elections. UNTAC aimed to stabilize the country, promote human rights, and support the rebuilding of Cambodian institutions, ultimately helping to lay the groundwork for a sustainable and democratic society. The mission concluded in 1993 after successfully guiding the country through its first democratic elections.
