Emilio Rabasa Estebanell (1856–1930). He studied law at the National Autonomous University of Mexico
(UNAM), where he also earned his J.D. and later founded the Faculty of Political and Social Sciences.

U.S. President Richard Nixon
. On 1 December 1970,
Economic Exclusion Zone and the creation of the Matías Romero Diplomatic Studies Institute. He also signed Mexico's first cooperation agreement with the European Economic Community.[2]

In 1975, the

Soviet bloc. It was a declarative nonbinding measure that equated Zionism with South Africa's Apartheid and as a form of racial discrimination. This process was a manifestation of Cold War bipolar logics. The bloc voting produced a majority in the United Nations that systematically condemned Israel
in the following resolutions: 3089, 3210, 3236, 32/40, etc.

On the other hand, the resolution must be read in the light of Third World politics promoted by political figures such as the Mexican president Luis Echeverría. He used the 1975 World Conference on Women as a platform to build his own figure among the Non-Aligned Movement and looking forward to the Secretary-General of the United Nations. This resulted in a touristic boycott of the American Jewish community against Mexico,[3] which made visible internal and external conflicts of Echeverría's politics, for example with Rabasa.

Rabasa resigned from the cabinet on 28 December 1975, due to differences of opinion with President Echeverría arising from heightened international tensions following Mexico's vote in favour of United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3379, equating Zionism with racism. He was replaced by Alfonso García Robles.
