The Iran-Iraq War lasted eight years and cost both countries literally hundreds of thousands of casualties before a ceasefire was agreed to in mid-August 1988. The United Nations Iran-Iraq Military Observer Group(UNIIMOG), which involved military observers from 26 nations, was created to observe and supervise the ceasefire and the withdrawal of Iranian and Iraqi forces back behind their own borders. The mission continued until January 1991, when the Iraqi-based observers and staff were removed in the wake of the Gulf War. The mandate was allowed to expire the following month 2, record 2, English, - United%20Nations%20Iran%2DIraq%20Military%20Observer%20Group

In 1965, India and Pakistan again went to war over disputed territory. Initially, the United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan(UNMOGIP) was expected to separate the forces and observe any ceasefire arrangement. But the fighting spread beyond UNMOGIP's area(the state of Jammu and Kashmir), and a second force, the United Nations India-Pakistan Observation Mission(UNIPOM), had to be created solely to supervise the ceasefire along those additional border regions. India and Pakistan then agreed to stop fighting and began to withdraw their soldiers. Early in 1966, all withdrawals were complete and UNIPOM's mission ended, which again left UNMOGIP as the only observer mission in the area. 2, record 5, English, - United%20Nations%20India%2DPakistan%20Observation%20Mission

En 1965, l'Inde et le Pakistan se sont à nouveau déclaré la guerre au sujet du territoire en litige. À l'origine,le Groupe d'observateurs militaires des Nations Unies pour l'Inde et le Pakistan (UNMOGIP) devait séparer les combattants et observer d'éventuels accords de cessez-le-feu. Les combats se sont toutefois propagés au-delà du secteur d'intervention de l'UNMOGIP (l'État de Jammu et Cachemire) et une deuxième force, la Mission d'observation des Nations Unies pour l'Inde et le Pakistan (UNIPOM), a dû être créée uniquement pour superviser le cessez-le-feu le long des frontières de ces nouvelles régions. L'Inde et le Pakistan ont ensuite accepté de mettre fin aux affrontements et ont commencé à retirer leurs effectifs. Au début de 1966, les retraits étaient terminés et l'UNIPOM a pris fin, laissant l'UNMOGIP comme seule mission d'observation dans la région. 2, record 5, French, - Mission%20d%27observation%20des%20Nations%20Unies%20pour%20l%27Inde%20et%20le%20Pakistan
