1905

Ernst Rudolf Jaakson (11 August 1905, Riga, Livonia (then Russian Empire) – 4 September 1998, New York, United States) was an Estonian diplomat whose contribution was to maintain Estonia's legal continuity with his uninterrupted diplomatic service for 69 years.

Jaakson studied economics at the University of Latvia in Riga, and law at the University of Tartu.

He later graduated from Columbia University in New York with a degree in economics.

In 1919, Jaakson began work in the legation of the newly independent Estonia in Riga.

1932

In 1932, he was assigned to the Estonian Consulate General in New York.

1940

When the Soviet Union occupied Estonia in 1940 and again in 1944, the United States and other democratic nations invoked the Stimson Doctrine, did not recognize the legality of Soviet annexation of Estonia, and continued to recognize the diplomatic representatives of the Republic of Estonia.

In 1965, when his predecessor, Johannes Kaiv, died, Jaakson became the consul in charge of the legation.

1980

Throughout much of the 1980s, Jaakson, as the longest-serving foreign diplomatic representative to the United States, held the position of "unofficial" Dean of the Diplomatic Corps.

During the long years of the Soviet occupation when the Baltic states' representatives in the West were often the object of curiosity or humorous dismissal, Jaakson commanded near-universal respect, and he did so not peremptorily but by his personal authority.

1991

Thus, he was the chief diplomatic representative of Estonia in the United States until Estonia regained independence in 1991.

In 1991, Jaakson was appointed Estonia's ambassador to the United States and Estonia's permanent representative to the United Nations.

1998

He died in New York in 1998, at the age of 93.

He worked in the Estonian Foreign Service for 79 years and served as a diplomat for 69 years.
