United Nations
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon today announced the appointment of Tamrat
Samuel as his Deputy Special Representative (Rule of Law) for the United
Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL).
The
new Deputy Special Representative for Rule of Law succeeds Louis M.
Aucoin of the United States of America, who concluded his assignment in
December 2012. The Secretary-General is grateful for Mr. Aucoin’s
dedicated service during his year with UNMIL.
Mr. Samuel brings with him
a wealth of political and leadership experience developed during nearly
thirty years of service with the United Nations, primarily focused on
political affairs for Asia and the Pacific region. Working in the
Department of Political Affairs, he supported the Secretary-General’s
good offices on the question of East Timor. In 2007, the
Secretary-General appointed Mr. Samuel as his Deputy Special
Representative for Nepal and Deputy Head of the United Nations Mission
in Nepal (UNMIN), a position he held until 2008.
Mr. Samuel holds a
Bachelor of Laws degree from Addis Ababa University and a Master of Laws
in international law from New York University.
Mr. Samuel is married with three children.
