Luis María Drago

Luis María Drago is remembered for his significant contribution to international law through the doctrine that bears his name. He was a prominent Argentine politician, whose career began as a newspaper editor in Buenos Aires. Later in his life, he held the important position of minister of foreign affairs. It was during his tenure that he articulated his doctrine, a response to the actions taken by European powers to enforce debt collection. This principle addressed the use of force in international relations concerning the recovery of public debts.
