Hans Tabor (April 25, 1922 – November 19, 2003) was a Danish diplomat and politician representing the Social Democratic Party.
He was the Danish ambassador to the UN in the 1960s. When the Six-Day War broke out in 1967 he was the head of the United Nations Security Council, and he managed to negotiate a cease fire between Israel and the Arab countries.[1]
Because of his success at the UN he was named Foreign Minister of Denmark by prime minister Jens Otto Krag.[2] He only held office 4 months, because the Social Democrats lost the 1968 election. Tabor then returned to the diplomacy, and was in 1974 briefly ambassador to the UN.[3]
