Description
Athletes march at the first ever UN Olympic games, an event held in Phnom Penh's 1963 Olympic Stadium on 17 January 1993. Organised by the Australian contingent, the games drew 600 participants from 18 countries. Reflecting the international character of the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC), a group of mixed nationalities lead the march, holding the UN flag. Representatives from the Australian Force Communications Unit (FCU) march behind them carrying an Australian flag, while behind them can be seen the contingents of Bangladesh and Bulgaria. Bangladesh contributed 942 personnel and Bulgaria 748 to the UNTAC operation.
