Baha ud-din Toukan (Arabic: بهاء الدين طوقان) was a Jordanian Ambassador.
Toukan joined the Arab Legion and became secretary to the Commanding Officer in 1932.
During the two-month negotiations in England in early 1946 for the Treaty of London, he was acting secretary to the Prime Minister Samir al-Rifai.
Beginning March 11, 1958,[citation needed] he was assigned as Permanent Representative to the United Nations in New York.
[4] This episode came about during a tense period following an attempt to overthrow King Hussein in April[5] and Toukan's protest against Abdel Monem Rifia, having been sent to lead the General Assembly discussions for Jordan at the U.N. Rather than being asked to continue to lead the delegation, Toukan was asked to return to Jordan.
