Abstract
Mexico’s foreign policy traditionally has been characterized by its persevering reliance on a handful of general and fundamental principles. Its behavior abroad has been guided by them on all fronts and in all forums. Championing nonintervention, self-determination, a generous policy for the indiscriminate granting of asylum, the peaceful settlement of international disputes, and the permanent sovereignty of people over their natural resources has only been the result of deep committment to the strict adherance to the binding rules of international law.
The alternate Representative of Mexico to the United Nations in Geneva, is currently on leave from his post at the University of Mexico. He has been a legal advisor to now Foreign Minister, Jorge Castañeda. He has been a representative of his country to the Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea and has been directly involved in all recent fisheries negotiations involving Mexico. He is the author of Latin America and the Development of the Law of the Sea (Oceana Publications, New York) and Mexico y el Derecho Internacional del Mar (University of Mexico).
