Riyad Mansour
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Riyad H. Mansour is a Palestinian-American diplomat and since 2005 has been the Permanent Observer of Palestine to the United Nations.[1]
Mansour was educated at the University of Akron and Youngstown State University. He was the Deputy Permanent Observer of Palestine to the United Nations from 1983 to 2004. In 2005, Chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization Mahmoud Abbas appointed him to succeed Nasser al-Qudwa as Permanent Observer for Palestine to the UN.
[edit] Notes
- ^ Since Palestine is not a member state of the United Nations, its representative there is a "Permanent Observer" rather than a "Permanent Representative".
