Luis Francisco Solari Tudela (5 December 1935 – 9 February 2013) was a Peruvian diplomat, lawyer and professor. He was an expert in the law of the sea and an elected member of the United Nations International Law Commission.[1]

He is known for playing a key role in getting Peru and Chile to settle a long-running territorial dispute over an area of the Pacific Ocean by bringing it to the International Court of Justice, in what became the Chilean–Peruvian maritime dispute case.[2][3] Solari Tudela proposed to Chile the international court as the preferable venue to resolve the maritime dispute.[4]
