United Nations Permanent Representatives / United Nations Dag Hammarskjöld Library

This dataset lists current and historical heads of Permanent Missions to the United Nations in New York. It is derived from the UN Digital Library personal names authority records and provides information on individuals' names, salutations, member states represented, and functions. This information is recorded based on official documents or UN historical resources on delegations and diplomatic missions. Salutation titles are commonly associated with gender, but they may not always reflect an individual's gender identity. Current heads of Missions use the title "Permanent Representative", but the name of this role varied in earlier years of the UN. For this reason, each personal name authority record included in this dataset was given the note "Ambassador" if an equivalent role was extracted from the source documentation.
