Diego García Sayán

Diego García Sayán

Diego García-Sayán Larrabure (born in Brooklyn, New York on 2 August 1950), is a former Justice and Foreign Affairs Minister of Perú, and currently a judge on the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.[1]

In 2007, he was unanimously elected, by his peers at the Court, to serve as the Court's Vice President for the 2008–09 period and, on 25 November 2009, to be its President for the 2010-12 period.[2]

Judge García Sayán is the youngest son of Dr. Enrique García-Sayán, a former Foreign Affairs Minister of Perú who, in 1946, was the person most associated along with President José Luis Bustamante y Rivero, for launching the so called "200 Nautical Miles (370.4 km) Territorial Doctrine", currently being adhered to and claimed by Benin, Congo, Ecuador, El Salvador, Liberia, Perú and Somalia.

After the 1948 coup d´état which overthrew the constitutionally elected Government of President Bustamante, Dr. García-Sayán went into exile, working with the United Nations first in New York, then in Geneva, which led a year later to his son Diego's birth in the United States.
