The Decorations & Awards of Luis Padilla Nervo- Mexico’s First Ambassador to the United Nations and President of the General Assembly
eMedals Inc. presents The Decorations & Awards of Luis Padilla Nervo, an exhibition showcasing the prestigious honors bestowed upon one of Mexico’s most distinguished diplomats. As Mexico’s first Ambassador to the United Nations and later President of the UN General Assembly, Luis Padilla Nervo played a role in shaping international diplomacy during the 20th century. This impressive collection features an array of Grand Crosses from 31 countries.
Born in 1898 in Mexico, Luis Padilla Nervo developed an early passion for politics while studying law at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. His career on the global stage began in 1945, when he signed the United Nations Charter on behalf of Mexico at the San Francisco Conference. Padilla Nervo made history as Mexico’s first Ambassador to the United Nations and served as a member of the United Nations Security Council. In 1951, he reached another milestone by becoming President of the General Assembly during its sixth session. After his time at the UN, Padilla Nervo held several key positions in Mexico’s government, serving in the Ministries of Education, Interior, and Labor. His distinguished career continued with his election to the International Court of Justice, where he served as a judge from 1964 to 1973—becoming only the second Mexican to hold that position. In recognition of his lifetime of achievements, he was honored with the prestigious Grand Crosses from 31 nations celebrating his enduring contributions to diplomacy, law, and public service.
