  1. I've listed a few sites below, and you also might want to check the government web sites for several countries you're interested in learning more about.

    Generally, a UN ambassador is a diplomat who has been designated the official representative of a particular member country. The technical title for a UN ambassador is Permanent Representative, and their websites can be googled by entering the term "permanent mission". The ambassador's duties are to represent the interests of their country at the UN. The actual extent of the authority of each ambassador to speak for his country and to make decisions without consulting other officials of his country varies.

    The US Ambassador's primary duty is to keep the State Department informed about what is going on in the UN and to make recommendations to the State Dept and the President. The President generally sets US policy, but various presidents have allowed their UN ambassadors different degrees of discretion and independence. The US Ambassador is the most powerful Ambassador. US Ambassadors duties have included pushing or blocking: budget and procedural reforms, Security Council resolutions, and the confirmation of the UN's Secretary-General.

  2. That question is an oxymoron

  3. An Ambassador to the United Nations is the Permanent Representative of a country to the United Nations.  As such, the individual is the leader of the country's delegation to the United Nations, charged with representing the country on the UN Security Council, as well as being the representative of the country in all plenary meetings of the General Assembly where a superior officer of the country (such as a president or sectetary of state) is not present.
