Francisco Antonio Gregorio Tudela van Breugel-Douglas (born 20 July 1955) [1] is a Peruvian scholar,diplomat and politician.

He also served as Minister of Foreign Affairs during the Fujimori administration and as a member of the Democratic Constituent Congress between 1992 and 1995.
The first of three children,Tudela was born in Lima into an upper class family. His father,Felipe Tudela y Barreda,served as ambassador and his grandfather was a Prime Minister. His mother was jonkvrouw Vera van Breugel Douglas (1929–†),daughter of the baron Casper van Breugel Douglas (1896–1982,member of the Dutch nobility),first Netherlands Ambassador accredited to the Soviet Union. Tudela has Romanian roots on his maternal side. [2]
He studied at Colegio Maristas San Isidro,the Pontifical and Civil Theological Faculty of Lima and the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP),where he obtained an LL.B. in 1983.

It also managed to agree between the parties,in Buenos Aires,on 19 June 1996,the role of the guarantor countries of the Rio de Janeiro Protocol,which would be governed exclusively within the terms of the treaty. On 29 October 1996,in Santiago de Chile,it agreed with Ecuador and the guarantor countries that the talks for the demarcation of the Peruvian-Ecuadorian border would be in accordance with the clauses of the Protocol of Rio de Janeiro of 1942,thus recognizing for the first time since 1952 the full validity of the Peruvian-Ecuadorian boundary treaty. He resigned from the Ministry in July 1997,after the revelation "of an intense activity of telephone espionage to opponents and people of the Government. Among the latter,Tudela himself."

[6]
