Gladwyn, Hubert Miles Gladwyn Jebb
▪ 1997

      BARON, British diplomat (b. April 25, 1900, Firbeck Hall, Yorkshire, Eng.—d. Oct. 24, 1996, Halesworth, Suffolk, Eng.), helped draft the Charter of the United Nations and in 1950 became Great Britain's first permanent UN representative. Educated at Eton College and Magdalen College, Oxford, Gladwyn entered the British diplomatic service in 1924. Recognized early for his efficiency and organizational skills, he advanced steadily, and in 1942 he was named head of the new reconstruction department of the Foreign Office, which was responsible for developing Britain's post-World War II policy. In 1943 Gladwyn prepared early plans for the proposed United Nations; the first draft of the UN Charter was also prepared under his direction. After serving as acting secretary-general of the UN (1946) and as Britain's first permanent UN representative (1950-54), Gladwyn served as Britain's ambassador to France (1954-60). In 1960 he was given a hereditary peerage in the House of Lords, and from 1965 to 1988 he served as deputy leader of the Liberal Party. A gifted speaker and writer, Gladwyn contributed to parliamentary debates and to many journalistic publications. The Memoirs of Lord Gladwyn appeared in 1972.
