Abstract
This paper, based on Australian sources, aims to examine the logic behind Australia’s
decision to contribute a police unit in the United Nations Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP)
in 1964. It offers answers to questions such as: What was the first reaction in Canberra
to the UN request for troops contribution in the UNFICYP? What were Australia’s
major reservations? What were the decisive factors that led to the re-examination of
Canberra’s first reaction and its final decision?
