peace envoy

Conflict resolution ambassador

A peace envoy is a person sent by a government or organization to negotiate an end to conflict or improve relations between hostile parties.

The role combines diplomat and messenger—carrying proposals, facilitating dialogue, and representing their sender's interests in sensitive situations: The UN appointed a special peace envoy to mediate the ceasefire talks.
