Jorge Martín Arturo Argüello (born April 20, 1956) is an Argentine politician and diplomat. He served as Permanent Representative of Argentina to the United Nations between 2007 and 2011, and was designated Ambassador of Argentina to the United States during 2011-2013. In 2013 was appointed Ambassador of Argentina to Portugal.
Argüello was born in Córdoba in 1956 as the first of four children by Jorge Marcelo Argüello Varela and Raquel Luque Colombres. He graduated from Rochester Community High School, Rochester, Indiana, in 1974, and returned to Argentina, where he enrolled at the University of Buenos Aires and earned a Law degree in 1985. He later earned a Master’s degree in Administration and Public Affairs at the University of San Andrés (Argentina), and authored numerous articles and books on democratic participation. Argüello married lawyer Marcela Millán, divorced and then remarried with journalist Erika Grinberg, and has a son and three daughters.
He entered public service upon his election in 1987 to the Buenos Aires City Council, and served in the Argentine Chamber of Deputies between 1991 and 1995. Argüello served as host organizer in 1994 of the first official visit to Argentina of a British Parliamentary delegation since the Falklands War twelve years earlier, and later represented Latin America countries in the 1994-95 meeting of the Parliamentarians for Global Action. In 1996, he was elected in the convention of Buenos Aires City (Convención Constituyente) called in 1996 to write the Constitution of the City of Buenos Aires. Between 1997 and 2003 he served as deputy of the newly established Buenos Aires City Legislature in two successive periods (1997-2000 and 2000-2003).
