What Role for the United Nations in the New Multipolar World?
In a context of unprecedented accumulation of crisis across the globe, French Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador François Delattre will give his perspective on how the United Nations can respond effectively to the challenges facing the world today — including conflicts, terrorism, proliferation, climate change and other global issues.
Join us for an engaging evening with the diplomat who is currently the voice of France at the UN, as he shares his views on the dynamics within the UN and more generally on the global stage of the role played by major international actors.

AMBASSADOR FRANÇOIS DELATTRE
Ambassador François Delattre was appointed Permanent Representative of France to the United Nations on September 2, 2014, after serving as Ambassador of France to the United States in Washington DC (2011-2014), Ambassador of France to Canada in Ottawa (2008-2011), Consul General in New York (2004-2008), Press and Communications Director at the French Embassy in Washington, DC (1998-2002).
Ambassador Delattre is a strong advocate of economic diplomacy, which he experienced in each of his diplomatic postings, starting with Bonn at the French Embassy in Germany (1989-1991), where he was in charge of assessing the economic impact of Germany's re-unification and the environment.
In France, Mr. Delattre was responsible for European and trans-Atlantic defense and security matters and managing the Bosnian crisis as a member of President Jacques Chirac's foreign policy team (1995-1998) after serving in the same capacity in the cabinet of Foreign Minister Alain Juppé (1993-1995). He also worked with the Strategic, Security and Disarmement Department of the French Foreign Ministry (1991-1993) and served as Deputy Director of French Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin's Office (2002-2004).
