Canada’s diplomats and foreign service staff work on a vast range of assignments, in consulates, embassies, and High Commissions worldwide, and on permanent missions to forums like the United Nations (UN).

As one of the UN’s founding members, Canada has always been an active participant in the multilateral organization, and according to Global Affairs Canada, we currently have “seven diplomatic missions accredited to the UN.” The senior diplomat leading each of those missions is the ambassador, or permanent representative (PR), tasked with ensuring Canada’s foreign policy goals are achieved.

The head of the UN mission is the PR to the United Nations Headquarters in New York, whose job it is to use “diplomacy, negotiation, and analysis of UN activities… to advance Canada’s interests and strengthen the pillars of the UN: international development, peace and security, and human rights.” Because of their high profile, Canada’s ambassador to the UN is frequently seen as the face of Canadian diplomacy, who often brings his or her personal style and values to the role.

Following are four Canadian ambassadors who have influenced the way Canadian diplomacy plays out on the world stage.
