The role of the ambassador and permanent representative of Luxembourg to the United Nations is as the leader of the Luxembourger delegation to the United Nations in New York and as head of the Permanent Mission of Luxembourg to the UN. The position has the rank and status of an ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary and was also the representative of Luxembourg in the United Nations Security Council from 2013-2014.

The permanent representative, currently Olivier Maes, is charged with representing Luxembourg, both through its non-permanent seat on the U.N.
