George Clooney's UN Role Made Official

george clooney photo George Clooney has officially been appointed as a United Nations peace envoy at a New York ceremony.

Clooney, who flew into the city following a trip to the Darfur region of Sudan, will promote the UN’s peacekeeping missions around the world.

The 46-year-old actor was accompanied to the ceremony by his parents.

Clooney co-founded the Not On Our Watch humanitarian group, which aims to draw attention to Darfur’s people and has raised over $9.3 million for the region.

"You hope that somehow... if you just shine a really bright light on these things it's harder to get away with it," Clooney said.

There are eight other peace messengers, including actor Michael Douglas.
