Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has informed the Security Council of his intention to appoint Karin Landgren of Sweden as his Representative in Nepal.
Ms. Landgren is no stranger to Nepal, having served as the Secretary-General’s Deputy
Special Representative in Nepal since September 2008.
In her new role, she will head a somewhat downsized UN Mission in Nepal (UNMIN) after
the departure of the current Special Representative, Ian Martin.
Ms. Landgren has many years of political, managerial and international law experience with
the United Nations. She was the United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR) country representative to Eritrea, Singapore and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Her service with UNHCR also included postings in India and the Philippines, and the position of Chief of Standards and Legal Advice. She served as UNICEF’s head of Child Protection for many years.
She is an adjunct professor at Columbia University’s School of International and Public
Affairs, and has published and lectured widely on humanitarian, refugee and child protection issues.
She has a Bachelor of Science (Economics) in international relations and a Master of Laws in international law from the London School of Economics.
