Her work in multiple countries has been cited in the news. In the late 1960s, while Buckley-Jones worked at the Canadian embassy in Lima, Peru, her work centered on providing visas and information for the Canadian citizens living in Peru.[1] In 1984, The Globe and Mail noted she was called "a tower of strength in Canada's External Affairs Department" as she helped Canadians leave Nicaragua during political crisis in Latin America.[2]
In 1985, Buckley-Jones worked at the embassy in Lebanon when the staff of the Canadian embassy moved from Lebanon to Beirut due to safety concerns,[3] and discussed the presence of Canadian citizens in Iran during the 1985 departure of foreigners from Iran.[4] She discussed Canada's support of the United States and Great Britain in interactions with the Soviet Union,[5] and smooths diplomatic incidents such as Jim Karygiannis's issues when he visited Trinidad in 1991.[6][7]
In 1990, Buckley-Jones was named as official at the rank of ambassador to Guatemala, which was controversial given the human rights abuses in Guatemala.[8][9] In her work in the Canadian External Affairs department, Buckley-Jones is widely cited, including discussions on recovery of hostages from southern Sudan,[10] issues surrounding the appointment of Bryce Mackasey as ambassador to Portugal,[11][12] and relations between Canada and the Vatican[13] the United States[14] and Mexico.[15]
She has provided advice for Canadians traveling overseas,[16] and worked to help Canadians encountering legal difficulties while they are overseas.[17]
