Jeremy Greenstock

Jeremy Greenstock

Sir Jeremy Greenstock GCMG (born 1944), educated at Harrow and Worcester College, Oxford, was a British diplomat from 1969-2004, serving in Washington DC, Paris, Dubai and Saudi Arabia. He is the former British Ambassador to the United Nations in New York and Her Majesty's former Special Representative in Iraq, where he worked alongside Paul Bremer within the Coalition Provisional Authority.

Greenstock left his position as deputy to Bremer in late March 2004, three months before the end of the CPA's term. Since then he has warned that the Coalition should be ready to acknowledge that it was leaving its goals unachieved, and pull out, rather than remain mired in an unwinnable struggle.

Jeremy Greenstock is currently the Director of the Ditchley Foundation.

Censored book

Greenstock wrote a book about his role in the Iraq war that was expected to be released in the Autumn of 2005. On November 27, 2005 "The Times" reported that the publication of Greenstock's book had been barred by the Cabinet Office. [ [http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2087-1892739,00.html Memo reveals Blair’s clash with Bush] , "The Times", November 27, 2005] Officials who have seen the book are understood to have been 'deeply shocked' over the way in which Greenstock has quoted widely from 'privileged' private conversations with Tony Blair, Jack Straw and from the private deliberations of the UN Security Council. Greenstock has been asked to remove all these sections before the book can be cleared for publication. [ [http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2005/jul/17/uk.books No 10 blocks envoy's book on Iraq] ]
