This article analyzes the life of a diplomat who played a pivotal role in
the United Nations, Hernán Santa Cruz Barceló of Chile. This diplomatic
leader focused on creating the Economic Commission for Latin America
and the Caribbean as well, as the commission that drafted the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights. Through this analysis of his internationalist
philosophy, his management as ambassador, and his friendships with various presidents of the Republic, critical milestones will be examined that
marked not only his vision for international relations, but also his most
characteristic feature: his faith in the human spirit and a superior destiny.
