Ribbon of the medal
The Peace Prize Medal (Danish: De Blå Beretters Fred-
sprismedalje) was instituted in 1995 by Queen Margrethe
II and may be awarded to any Dane who has completed a
tour of duty on a UN mission and has received a medal for
it. UN veterans are allowed to apply for the medal them-
selves thus making this the only danish medal that the
recipient himself can apply for.[1]
The medal commemorates the 1988 Nobel Peace Prize
given to United Nations Department of Peacekeeping
The medal for participation in UN missions before and after Operations personnel.[2] Persons who have been de-
1988 ployed with the UN before 1988 may attach a silver oak-
leaf to the ribbon of the medal.[3]
