Scanned slide, photograph taken in February 1993.
Ghanaian troops were responsible for Phnom Penh City, here on a guarding boat on the Mekong river.
The United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) was a United Nations peacekeeping operation in Cambodia in 1992–93. It was also the first occasion on which the UN had taken over the administration of an independent state, organized and run an election (as opposed to monitoring or supervising), had its own radio station and jail, and been responsible for promoting and safeguarding human rights at the national Level.
