Dutch politician (b. Aug. 28, 1911, Rotterdam, Neth.—d. July 17, 2002, Brussels, Belg.), served for 19 years as foreign minister of The Netherlands before being appointed (1971) secretary-general of NATO, a position he held until 1984. Throughout his tenure at NATO, Luns, a conservative, was committed to ties with the U.S. and the U.K. and was cautiously skeptical of Soviet policy. He pushed European governments to increase military spending and endorsed plans to install ballistic missiles in Western Europe. Luns's wit and agility in guiding NATO earned him praise from many quarters.
