Previous to Mansour"s appointment to Permanent Observer, Mansour served as the Deputy Permanent Observer of Palestine to the United Nations from 1983 to 1994. In 2005, President of the Palestinian National Authority Mahmoud Abbas appointed him to succeed Nasser al-Qudwa as Permanent Observer for Palestine to the United Nations. Under Mansour, the Permanent Observer Mission of Palestine to the United Nations changed from being an "entity" to being a "non-Member Observer State" on 29 November 2012. Mansour was born on 21 May 1947 to a family who lived in Ramallah, Mandatory Palestine.
He has a Doctor of Philosophy in Counselling from the University of Akron, a Master of Science degree in Education Counselling, and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy from Youngstown State University.
In 2002, Mansour served as an adjunct professor in the Political Science Department at the University of Central Florida. In 2015 Mansour was accused by Israel"s Ambassador to the United Nations of spreading a blood libel when he asserted that bodies returned by Israel to Palestinian families for burial, "were returned with missing corneas and other organs, further confirming past reports of organ harvesting.".
