List of Secretaries General of the Western European Union
The Secretary-General of the Western European Union was the head of the Western European Union (WEU), a Cold War era European defence and collective security organisation, which was dissolved in 2011.[1]
In 1999, it was agreed that the holder of newly created post of High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy of the European Union should also be the Secretary-General of the WEU. This was then Javier Solana however since a reconfiguration of the High Representative post, Solana's successor Catherine Asthon was however never appointed Secretary-General and an acting secretary-general fulfilled the role until the WEU's dissolvement in 2011.
