The Peace Prize Medal (Danish: De Blå Beretters Fredsprismedalje) 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 themselves 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 Operations personnel.[2] Persons who have been deployed with the UN before 1988 may attach a silver laurel branch to the ribbon of the medal.[3]
