Education
[edit]Hernandez-Haddad graduated law school with honors at the prestigious National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) in 1972. That same year, he obtained the National "President Benito Juarez" Award for his thesis "A Constitutional Analysis of the Reform Laws".
In 1978, he became a fellow at Harvard University's Weatherhead Center for International Affairs in Cambridge, Massachusetts.[1][2]
He obtained a master's degree in international public policy (MIPP) from Johns Hopkins University's Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) in 1981, for his studies in international economics. He completed a course in French civilization at the Sorbonne University in 1981.
Political career

He was elected to his second term as Federal Congressman in 1979, during which he served as Chairman for the Chamber of Deputies' Science and Technology Committee.
From 1982 to 1988 he served as Senator for his home-state of Tabasco, and was appointed Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. From 1983 to 1987 he was also Secretary of Foreign Affairs for the PRI National Executive Committee.[4] A 1999 book said he was the youngest national in history to achieve all of his political positions in such short time.[5]
In 1989 he was appointed Consul General of Mexico for South-Central Texas, based in San Antonio.[6] He was elected Chairman of the Consular Corps for South Texas and served from 1991 to 1995.
As a result of his diplomatic performance as Consul General of Mexico in the United States of America he cancelled any membership or affiliation to the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI).
