Bill Clinton Named UN Special Envoy to Haiti

According to CNN, former U.S. President Bill Clinton will be named UN Special Envoy to Haiti. Having spent six years as a staff member at UNICEF and another ten years as a consultant to several United Nations agencies, this upcoming appointment gives me a feeling of delight. 

It is a brilliant recognition of the extraordinary achievements of the President Clinton both during his presidency and beyond. It banks on his ability to uplift the welfare of the Haitian people in sustainable ways. 

Bill Clinton as UN Envoy will add prestige to the UN and the Clinton himself.  So whose idea was this? Bill Clinton, The UN, Hillary, or the Obama administration? Perhaps all.
