The Secretary-General acts as the ''de facto'' spokesperson and leader of the UN. The position is defined in the UN Charter as the organization's "chief administrative officer".<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.un.org/en/documents/charter/chapter15.shtml |title=United Nations Charter: Chapter XV |publisher=United Nations |accessdate=18 November 2013}}</ref> Article 99 of the charter states that the Secretary-General can bring to the Security Council's attention "any matter which in his opinion may threaten the maintenance of international peace and security", a phrase that Secretaries-General since [[Trygve Lie]] have interpreted as giving the position broad scope for action on the world stage.{{sfn|Meisler|1995|pp=31–32}} The office has evolved into a dual role of an administrator of the UN organization and a diplomat and mediator addressing disputes between member states and finding consensus to global issues.{{sfn|Kennedy|2007|pp=59–62}}
