 Guardian | Joseph Luns
Luns, unlike many British political contemporaries, clearly understood that a uniting Europe was the only means of sustaining a lesser European power's influence, whether with a mighty neighbour like Germany, the ex-invader, or in general.
Luns thus stood for election for the old Catholic People's party, but only sat in the second chamber for short periods in 1956 and 1959, when protracted, post-electoral negotiations were in progress.
Luns made the same error as that much more serious offender and contemporary fellow diplomat, Dr Kurt Waldheim, former secretary-general of the UN and then president of Austria, who denied all knowledge of expulsions of Jews from the Balkans when his initials were on the movement orders.

We are here today to mourn and honour Dr Joseph Luns, a true statesman of enormous significance to the Atlantic Alliance, to transatlantic relations and to the whole second half of the twentieth century.

 Nato Review
Joseph Marie Antoine Hubert Luns was born in Rotterdam in 1911.
Luns took on with success the task inaugurated by the Harmel Report in the 1967 of turning NATO into a more political organisation, working for détente as much as upholding military deterrence.
Luns will be remembered at NATO as a colourful character with a regal bearing and an acute sense of humour, which at times could be disarmingly clownish.

To Luns' dislike both his own Katholieke Volkspartij (Catholic People's Party) and the (protestant) Anti-Revolutionaire Partij (Anti-Revolutionary Party) intended to file a motion, which called upon the Dutch government to demand a halt to US bombing of North Vietnam.33 In Luns' point of view this demand was too one-sided.
Tyler had been informed by Luns in private that the radical wing of his Catholic People's Party had threatened to support a motion that would demand the 25 August 1967 motion to be carried out in its complete and original form.
Luns thought it might have had, but Tyler was not sure.72 The State Department, which devoted a large report to the matter in April 1968, sought explanations mainly in the sphere of the Dutch 'lack of desire to provoke a governmental crisis'.73 It was striking it did not take into account the "Tet Offensive".

Luns was a witty conservative who upon being appointed joint foreign minister in one of the Netherlands’ interminable coa-lition government negotiations said two ministers were neces-sary because “as a small country we have a tremendous amount of outside world to cope with.”
While Luns was ready to confront his countrymen on issues such as the basing of medium-range US missiles in Europe, de Hoop Scheffer steers clear of controversy—but without compromising his firm views on European union and the importance of transatlantic relations.

The uninitiated sometimes mistook him for Charles de Gaulle for the two men were of similar height and both had long, narrow faces with protruding aquiline noses.
But Luns had none of the General's nationalism nor his suspicion of the United States.
He was both a committed European and an Atlanticist in an age when many European intellectuals believed that a strong US-led Alliance would inevitably weaken European political union.
