MEDALLION
The Nobel Peace Prize Medallion awarded in 1988 is described on the front page of the August 2007 issue of the CPVA Newsletter, The Blue Beret . It is kept at the United Nations Organization Headquarters in New York City.
RECOGNITION
There is no official recognition for this group of Veterans by the Government of Canada. When the Canadian Peacekeeping Service Medal (CPSM) was designed in 1999, largely inspired by the 1988 Nobel Peace Prize award, it was recommended by the CPVA, who originated the design, to include a “Nobel” Bar for those who served on a peacekeeping mission from 1956 to 1988 but this seems to have been lost in the approval process. Sadly, there is no official military certificate to recognize this important event either.
Legitimate recognition is available through the CPVA on behalf of the Norwegian Nobel Committee by the award of the Norwegian 1988 Nobel Peace Prize Diploma in Norwegian. Eligible members may apply directly to the CPVA.
