Isidro Fabela

International and Supranational Court Judges

José Isidro Fabela Alfaro, who lived from June 28, 1882, to August 12, 1964, was a Mexican politician, diplomat, judge, professor and writer born in Atlacomulco. He belonged to the Ateneo de la Juventud, an intellectual circle that opposed the Porfirio Díaz regime alongside figures such as José Vasconcelos and Diego Rivera, and he later served as governor of the State of Mexico. As head of the Mexican delegation to the League of Nations from 1937 to 1940, he presented Mexico's formal protest against Nazi Germany's annexation of Austria in March 1938, the only such protest lodged with the League by any nation. After serving as a Mexican senator, he was appointed a judge of the International Court of Justice in 1946 and served until 1952.

FAQs

Why is a promenade in Vienna named after Isidro Fabela?

A promenade at the United Nations complex in Vienna honors his 1938 League of Nations protest against the annexation of Austria.

After the Second World War, a promenade in the UNO-City complex in the Donaustadt district of Vienna, where the United Nations has its Vienna headquarters, was named after him. It commemorates his work as head of the Mexican delegation to the League of Nations, where on March 19, 1938 he presented a formal Mexican note of protest against the annexation of Austria by Germany. Mexico was the only country that officially protested the annexation before the League.
