ambassador-at-large
Unassigned senior envoy
An ambassador-at-large is a diplomat of high rank who handles special assignments rather than serving as envoy to a particular country.
While a standard ambassador represents their nation in one specific foreign capital, an ambassador-at-large may be dispatched wherever needed or tasked with addressing issues that cross national boundaries: The ambassador-at-large for war crimes traveled to three continents gathering testimony.
