US ambassador to UN only no-show at Security Council visit to Colombia

Source: Colombia Reports

written by Adriaan Alsema May 8, 2017






The United States’ ambassador was the only Security Council member missing in action during the recent United Nations inspection of Colombia’s peace process. Fortunately, her deputy saved the day.

. . .

Two UN Security Council member states did not send their ambassadors; Russia, because its ambassador passed away in February, and the US, because Ambassador Nikki Haley had “scheduling conflicts.”

. . .

Colombia Reports could not find any public record of a public event attended by the Haley that day.

The US ambassador had seemingly gone home to celebrate her daughter’s first year in college.
