Samantha Power (born September 21, 1970) is an Irish-American academic, author and diplomat who currently serves as the United States Ambassador to the United Nations.〔(Donilon to Resign as National Security Advisor )''New York Times'', Mark Landler Published: June 5, 2013〕 Power began her career by covering the Yugoslav Wars as a journalist. From 1998 to 2002 Power served as the Founding Executive Director of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School, where she later served as the first Anna Lindh Professor of Practice of Global Leadership and Public Policy. She was a senior adviser to Senator Barack Obama until March 2008, when she resigned from his presidential campaign after apologizing for referring to then-Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton as "a monster".〔(After ‘Monster’ Remark, Aide to Obama Resigns )''New York Times'', Sheryl Gay Stolberg Published: March 29, 2011〕 Power joined the Obama State Department transition team in late November 2008, and was named Special Assistant to President Obama and Senior Director for Multilateral Affairs and Human Rights on the National Security Council—responsible for running the Office of Multilateral Affairs and Human Rights—positions that she held from January 2009 to March 2013.

She is considered to be a key figure within the Obama administration in persuading the president to intervene militarily in Libya.〔(Still Crusading, but Now on the Inside )''New York Times'', Sheryl Gay Stolberg Published: March 29, 2011〕 As of 2014, she is listed as the 63rd most powerful woman in the world by ''Forbes''.
