Arthur Dunkel (26 August 1932 – 8 June 2005[1]) was a Swiss (Portuguese-born) administrator.

[2] Dunkel was educated at the Graduate Institute of International Studies, in Geneva.

Arthur Dunkel took an active part in the Uruguay Round Negotiations of the GATT.

When negotiations had passed the deadline and no agreement had emerged he took initiative in his own hands compiling the 'Dunkel Draft' in December 1991.

Even though the United States and India continued to bargain for changes to the Dunkel Draft, only minor amendments were made in the sphere of agriculture.
