United Nations Administered Cambodia refers to the period between 28 February 1992 and 24 September 1993 when the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) had responsibility for the administration of Cambodia under the terms of the 1991 Paris Peace Agreements which ended the Cambodian–Vietnamese War.
This was the first occasion in which the UN directly assumed responsibility for the administration of an independent member state (though the UN did administer the territory of West New Guinea between 1962 and 1963), rather than simply monitoring or supervising the area.
