César Landa

César Rodrigo Landa Arroyo (born 15 June 1958) is a Peruvian professor and politician. He served as Minister of Foreign Relations of Peru intermittently from February to December 2022 under the presidency of Pedro Castillo. He also served as president of the Constitutional Court of Peru between 2006 and 2008, and vice minister of Justice in 2004.

Political career In 2003, Landa was appointed ad hoc judge of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, a position he resigned in 2004.

Vice Minister of Justice In February 2004, Landa was appointed Vice Minister of Justice by President Alejandro Toledo. In December, Congress elected him a magistrate of the Constitutional Court. He held that position until 5 August when Castillo reshuffled his cabinet. On 13 September, thirty-nine days after being replaced, he was again appointed and installed by President Castillo as foreign minister. This came after his predecessor, Miguel Rodríguez Mackay resigned due to differences with President Castillo. He resigned again on 7 December in the wake of the 2022 Peruvian self-coup d'état attempt.
