The Permanent Representative of the United States to the United Nations and Other International Organizations in Geneva is the Chief of Mission of the United States Mission to the United Nations and Other International Organizations in Geneva, representing the United States of America at the United Nations Office at Geneva. The full official title of the position is Representative of the United States of America to the Office of the United Nations and Other International Organizations in Geneva, with the rank of Ambassador.[1]

The office was established in 1958 by 22 U.S.C. § 287 : US Code - Section 287(e): Representation in Organization. The Representative has the rank of Ambassador and reports directly to the United States Ambassador to the United Nations.[2] [3]

Formerly, the position was known as the "Representative of the United States to the European Office of the United Nations".[4] The United Nations changed the nomenclature from "European Office" to "UN Office at Geneva (UNOG)" in 1966.[5] Further, Geneva is the home of many UN-affiliated international organizations which are not technically part of the United Nations, as well as many important international organizations entirely independent of the UN, such as the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).
