Fernando Volio Jiménez

Fernando Volio Jiménez Fernando Volio Jiménez (29 October 1924 – 21 May 1996) was a Costa Rican politician. He was a member of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and served as foreign minister for a time. He was President of the Legislative Assembly of Costa Rica twice - 1968–1969 and 1987–1988.

His work on human rights was not entirely without controversy. His anti-communism made him a "tolerable" investigator of abuses under Augusto Pinochet and his report on the matter was criticized as too mild. Provided by Wikipedia
