The International Commission for Supervision and Control Medal is an international service medal awarded to personnel from the three countries that make up the International Commission for Supervision and Control (ICSC). The ICSC was born from the Geneva Agreements of 1954, which ended the First Indochina War. The medal was awarded for 90 days of cumulative service with the ICSC between 1954 and 1974.
Personnel of ICSC member nations served in various locations throughout Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia investigating compliance and monitoring enforcement of the peace accords. The commission's purpose was to supervise the cease-fire, the withdrawal of French troops, the repatriation of military and civilian prisoners, and facilitating the return of refugees to their homes. The commission was made up of personnel from Canada, Poland, and India.[1] The International Commission for Control and Supervision Medal was awarded for 90 days of cumulative service between 7 August 1954 to 15 June 1974.[2]
