Permanent Representative
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Permanent Representative is the head of a diplomatic mission to one of various international organisations. The most high-profile of the organisations to which states send Permanent Representatives is the United Nations.
Permanent Representatives are often erroneously described as 'ambassadors'; although a Permanent Representative holds the personal rank of an ambassador, he or she is accredited to an international organisation, and not to a Head of State (as an ambassador would be) or to a Head of Government (as a High Commissioner would be).
