Juan Ramón Aguirre Lanari (August 20, 1920 – December 12, 2017) was an Argentine lawyer, diplomat, politician, and professor of constitutional law, who served as the Minister of Foreign Affairs from 1982 until 1983.[1][2] Aguirre Lanariwas the last Foreign Minister of the National Reorganization Process before the end of Argentina's military dictatorship in 1983.[1] While not a member of the military, Aguirre Lanari saw his 1982 appointment to the Foreign Ministry as a way to guide the dictatorship towards a transition to democracy.[2] He accepted his assignment as Foreign Minister following assurances by President Reynaldo Bignone that new elections would be held by early 1984.[2] Following the defeat of Argentina in the Falklands War and the cessation of hostilities, Aguirre Lanari led international negotiations. He managed to get the United Nations to approve Resolution 37/9 in November 1982, which called on all parties to negotiate a solution to the Falkland Islands crisis.[1]

A member and former leader of the Liberal Party of Corrientes, Aguirre Lanari was elected to the Argentine Senate, representing his native Corrientes Province on three occasions: the 1963 general election, and the 1987 and 1989 elections following the transition to democracy.[1]

Aguirre Lanari died in Buenos Aires on December 12, 2017, at the age of 97.[1]
