He entered Argentina's foreign service in 1955 and earned his law degree at the University of Buenos Aires in 1960. In a later interview he recalled learning international law alongside José María Ruda, Ernesto de la Guardia, and Julio Barberis. He served on Argentina's delegation to the Beagle Channel arbitration in 1972–77 and as the foreign ministry's legal adviser in 1982–83.","His ambassadorship to East Germany in 1983–85 preceded his Washington appointment in 1986–89. Candioti led Argentine delegations in nuclear and space consultations with the United States and other countries and represented Argentina in maritime negotiations. After Washington he directed international security, nuclear, and space affairs. In 1990–91 he headed delegations negotiating nuclear cooperation with Brazil and the associated safeguards arrangements.","His later appointments included Australia, Germany, and secretary of state for foreign relations. He joined the Permanent Court of Arbitration and taught the law of the sea, Antarctic affairs, disarmament, and nonproliferation.","Elected to the UN International Law Commission in 1997, Candioti became its chairman in May 2003. He subsequently chaired working groups on shared natural resources and international organizations' responsibility. The General Assembly reelected him with 164 votes in 2006. In his 2011 interview, he described the commission's growing use of declarations, principles, and guidelines alongside draft conventions, and explained his own role in guiding its long term program."],"id":"argentina:argentina-enrique-candioti","identifiers":{},"legacyPersonIds":[],"legacyUrl":"https://chanceries.org/diplomat-933849a2a2d394e018eb.html","name":"Enrique Candioti","notes":[],"paragraphSources":[["un-cv","mfa","cari-interview"],["mfa","un-cv"],["mfa"],["mfa","mfa-chair","un-cv","cari-interview"]],"profileUrl":"diplomat-933849a2a2d394e018eb.html","relatedEvents":[],"relatedPeople":[],"relationships":[],"researchStatus":"reviewed","reviewedOn":"2026-10-28","revision":"65145afb66e3818a","sources":[{"accessedOn":"2026-10-28","date":null,"id":"un-cv","locator":"A/66/90, pp. 31–34","publisher":"United Nations","title":"Nomination of candidates: Enrique J.
