POMED Notes: Chris Hill Confirmation
March 25th, 2009 by Eoghan
Christopher Hill, a career diplomat who led the U.S. delegation to the six-party talks on North Korea’s nuclear program, appeared today before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations as President Obama’s nominee for Ambassador to Iraq. The confirmation hearing touched on issues such as corruption in the Iraqi government, diplomacy with Iraq’s neighbors, and the future of the Sunni “awakening councils.” Mr. Hill also discussed relevant lessons from his experience in the Balkans in the 1990s, and addressed criticism of his handling of human rights issues with North Korea.
