Robertson, who became NATO's 10th secretary-general in October 1999 -- in the wake of the alliance's first-ever war, in Kosovo -- is widely credited with initiating reforms to help NATO adapt to the new security challenges of the post-Cold War era.
Robertson, 56, said he decided not to pursue an optional fifth year on the job, resisting calls from some member states to extend his term and throwing open the race for a successor.
Robertson, a former defense minister in Tony Blair's government, was the third Briton to hold this position, after Lord Ismay, the first NATO secretary-general, who served from 1952-57, and Lord Carrington in the 1980s.
