Eda Rivas was born in Lima on March 23,1952. She graduated in law from the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru. Additionally,she completed a postgraduate specialization in Public Services Management from the University of Castilla-La Mancha in Spain,and also obtained a postgraduate specialization in Infrastructure Regulation from the Public Service at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
Rivas was married to the jurist Diego García-Sayán Larrabure,former president and current judge of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights,with whom she has three children:Enrique Diego (b. 1979),Gonzalo Alonso (b. 1981) and Rodrigo Aurelio (b. 1983).
Rivas started her career as legal advisor in various public entities,such as ENAPU,OSITRAN,and COPRI,as well as advisor to the office of the Prime Minister of Peru,and the Ministry of Foreign Relations (2000-2001). [3]
In the private sector,she has been a consultant in various areas,in particular related to business competitiveness,good corporate governance,corporate social responsibility and others. In the field of university teaching,she has been a professor of administrative law at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. From March 2004 to October 2009,she was advisor to the general management and the presidency of the Peruvian Institute of Business Action (IPAE).
In the Ollanta Humala's administration,Rivas was appointed Chief of the Cabinet of Advisers to the Ministry of Justice. She was subsequently appointed Deputy Minister of Justice in December 2011.
On July 23,2012,she was sworn as Minister of Justice and Human Rights,forming part of the third cabinet of president Ollanta Humala,led by Juan Jiménez Mayor. [4] [5]
Less than year after her appointment as Justice Minister,Rivas was rotated in the cabinet as Minister of Foreign Relations,becoming the first woman to be appointed Foreign Minister in Peruvian history. [6] [7]
On October 2,2013,Rivas accompanied President Humala on an official tour to Asia. The Peruvian delegation was in Bangkok,Thailand,where the negotiations for a Foreign Trade Agreement were concluded. Subsequently,they headed to Bali,Indonesia,to attend the APEC summit,in which Humala participated alongside other heads of state. Unexpectedly,on October 7 it was announced that the Peruvian president would anticipate his return and that he would take advantage of a stopover in Paris to meet with French President François Hollande,a meeting agreed upon at the latter's request. Immediately,several Peruvian parliamentarians warned that the Congress of the Republic had given permission only for an international tour of Asia,but not France,for which a “constitutional violation”would have been committed. [8] [9]
On October 11,2013,Rivas appeared before Congress to explain this situation;she justified the arrival of President Humala in Paris,arguing that it was only a "technical stopover",but not a trip;she also maintained that the meeting with the French president was “informal,”thus justifying the fact that Congress had not been asked for permission,without taking into account that State issues were discussed at the bilateral meeting. On October 14,2013,a group of parliamentarians raised a censure motion against the Minister of Foreign Affairs. On October 20,after four hours of intense deliberation,the Congress went to the vote,which was favorable:54 votes against censorship,52 in favor and 4 abstentions [10] [11] [12]
An important event that occurred during her term at the Foreign Ministry was the International Court of Justice verdict on the controversy of maritime delimitation between Chile and Peru,on January 27,2014,by which Peru recovered 50 thousand km²of sea. [13]

On April 16,2015,she was appointed Peruvian Ambassador to Italy,a position she assumed in May of the same year. In addition,she was designated as the Permanent Representative of Peru to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO);before the World Food Program (WFP);and before the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD).
