Angelina Jolie Considers New Role With UN Agency

Angelina Jolie is negotiating for a promotion at the U.N. refugee agency where she now serves as a goodwill ambassador. The actress said she and the agency are still working out the details of a new, expanded role for her in the worldwide refugee crisis. One of roles under discussion is special envoy on the refugee crisis affecting Afghans fleeing for Pakistan and Iran, which hosts 2.7 million Afghan refugees. Jolie told diplomats Tuesday that her work for them has been “moving, sometimes heartbreaking, but always rewarding, and unforgettable.” She described refugees she has met as “the most vulnerable people in the world, and they are also the most resilient people in the world."
