Are you asking what an ambassador does? Or are we talking about a thingy where all the ambassador's get together or something?

CarrieMpls said:

Ooooh Oohhhh, are you gonna help??? I'm not sure. Hold on I'll get the book and tell ya word for word!

luv4all7 said:

OK. I need the context.

Do you mean like a function that the ambassadors put on? If so, those are usually something like a dinner party or awards banquet.

If you are asking what the ambassador's function is they usually handle events and are representatives of a country, university, 4-H fair, etc.. It depends on what you mean, I guess.

Okay here. It's a two part question. I got the first part.

here's the second.

3B. Using external resources (dictionaries, encyclopedias, and so on), define and describe "an ambassadors function".

I think it's asking what an ambassador does????

luv4all7 said:

They represent, they're representatives?

Does that work?

shayblackfeather said:

Ahh, you mean "An Ambassador's function"

Yeah, then the above would be it

senik said:

Ohhhhh those chocolate candy balls. Yup they're good, but I don't think thats what I'm lookin' for.

Mazurack said:

So their FUNCTION is to represent?

luv4all7 said:

Do you have to write out a description of what the ambassador does? We're talking about a government ambassador, right?

I ask because there are ambassadors for government, university, etc. and their functions are different.

What does the United States ambassador to the United Nations do?

Simply put, U.S. ambassadors to the United Nations — or "permanent representatives," as they are called — represent U.S. interests. The No. 1 duty is to keep the U.S. State Department informed of events at the United Nations. The ambassador then makes recommendations to the State Department and the president as to what course of action the United States should pursue.

Other Duties

U.S. ambassadors at the United Nations can be responsible for pushing the sometimes-bloated organization to streamline its budgets, as Richard Holbrooke did in exchange for securing almost $1 billion in back dues in 2000 and 2001. They can successfully push for important Security Council resolutions, as John Negroponte did when the council passed the resolution that President Bush eventually cited in going to war in Iraq. And they can even block secretaries-general from confirmation, as Madeleine Albright did with Boutros Boutros-Ghali in 1996. They're almost always the most visible person at the United Nations except for the secretary-general himself.

Is that what you're looking for?
