military observer group

  
     
  A group of military officers charged with monitoring a ceasefire or an armistice. They are usually from the army and of middling rank, and seconded on an individual basis. Used by the UN in relation to a number of disputes, the almost invariable practice is for the officers to be unarmed. See also chief military observer; observer mission; peacekeeping; special representative.
