Mona Juul (born 10 April 1959) is a Norwegian diplomat and former politician for the Labour Party. She worked at the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and has been an ambassador to several different countries. Juul hails from Sparbu, and was educated in political science. She played a key role facilitating the Oslo Accords in the 1990s. On 25 July 2019, Juul was elected President of the United Nations Economic and Social Council.[1]

Oslo Accords[edit]

Along with her husband Terje Rød-Larsen, Juul played a key role in the 1990s Oslo Accords—pivotal agreements on Middle East peace. The secret negotiations, largely arranged and facilitated by Juul and her husband, led to the peace agreement signing on 13 September 1993 in Washington D.C., of the first-ever agreement between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).[2][3][4][5]

Juul and the rest of the Oslo team of facilitators focused on the conflict between Israel and the PLO, knowing that a peace agreement would have to be created by the adversaries themselves and that a group acting as mediator would be vital in making appropriate arrangements for negotiations.

The 2016 Broadway play, Oslo by noted playwright J. T. Rogers, is a widely praised dramatization of the previously unheralded role of Juul and her husband, and others, in developing the back-channel communications that (reportedly) saved the Oslo negotiations from collapsing.[2][3][4][5]

21st century career[edit]

During the first cabinet Stoltenberg, from 2000 to 2001, Juul was appointed State Secretary in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. From 2001 to 2004 she served as the Norwegian ambassador to Israel. From 2005 to 2010 she served as a deputy director and ambassador in the Norwegian delegation to the United Nations in New York City. In 2014, she succeeded Kim Traavik as Ambassador to the United Kingdom.[6]

On 7 September 2018, she was nominated to become the next permanent representative of Norway to the United Nations.[7] She presented her credentials to UN Secretary General António Guterres on 14 January 2019, and assumed office the same day.[8] As permanent representative, she notably spearheaded the successful Norwegian campaign for a seat at the UN Security Council for the 2021–2022 term.[9] In January 2023, Merete Fjeld Brattested was nominated as her successor.[10] Brattested officially took over on 1 September.[11]
