Yesterday the United States Senate confirmed Samantha Power as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations with strong bi-partisan support. Power wrote the book on ending genocide in the modern world (literally), and we’ve been fans for years. This spring, we got to sit down with her and discuss Fourth Estate Summit and international justice. We send our well wishes to Ambassador Power as she works to continually change the game.
What President Obama had to say: As one of our country’s leading foreign policy thinkers, Samantha knows that our nation’s interests are advanced with strong and principled American leadership. As a long-time champion of human rights and dignity, she will be a fierce advocate for universal rights, fundamental freedoms and U.S. national interests. I’m grateful that Samantha will continue to be a vital member of my national security team, and I know that under her leadership our UN Mission in New York will continue to represent American diplomacy at its best.
