Career

Iguarán received his Bachelor of Law from the Externado University of Colombia in 1982, and obtained a Master in Comparative Law from the University of Bonn in Germany in 1990, and has completed specializations in Penal Cassation from La Gran Colombia University in 2003, and in High State Administration from the Colombian Higher School of Public Administration in 1998.[2]

Ambassadorship

President Uribe offered Iguarán an ambassadorship to Switzerland following the end of his term as Attorney General, but the Swiss Government expressed their disapproval of said appointment, because Iguarán had investigated a Swiss national, Jean Pierre Gontard, for cooperation with the FARC-EP. Gontard, who was working with the permission of the Swiss and Colombian authorities as a mediator, was suspected to have gone beyond his role by aiding the FARC rebels and their associates in Europe and was called in for questioning, he however was also a close friend and associate of Swiss Federal Councillor Micheline Calmy-Rey who is also the Swiss Foreign Minister in charge of approving ambassadorial appointments to Switzerland; in the end Iguarán was dropped from consideration to this mission.[3]

Nonetheless, President Uribe offered him another diplomatic post, and this time the host nation permitted it; Iguarán was sworn in as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Colombia to the Republic of Egypt by Chancellor Jaime Bermúdez Merizalde on 2 March 2010 and travelling that same day to Egypt to assume his official duties,[4] and presented his letters of credence to Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak on 27 June 2010.[5]
