Actress Jolie to take on UN special envoy role

Her work over the last decade, including 40 field visits, "goes significantly beyond the role of a goodwill ambassador," said spokesman Adrian Edwards, and the promotion is intended to recognise this.
The new post will see the Oscar-winning actress perform a more diplomatic role.
"She is expected to focus on large-scale crises resulting in the mass displacement of people, to undertake advocacy and represent UNHCR and Mr Guterres at the diplomatic level, engaging with relevant interlocutors on global displacement issues," said Edwards.
