Dutch contribution to the United Nations Special Committee on the Balkans (UNSCOB)

In addition to 2 committee members, the Netherlands supplied military observers. The first 2 Dutch service members arrived in Greece in June 1948.

The number of Dutch observers was increased to 4 a year later. Because of the Netherlands’ neutral position in the conflict, Dutch observers often acted as chair of the observer groups. The number of Dutch observers was reduced from 4 to 3 in April 1950. They returned to the Netherlands in July 1951.
