Career
He entered the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in 1959, and was initially posted to positions in Tehran and Kabul.
Starting in 1965 and continuing into the early 1970s, he was a representative of the British government in discussions which led to the United Kingdom's entry into the European Economic Community in 1973.[1]
He held various positions at the Foreign Office in London during the 1970s and 1980s. He was a minister at the British Embassy in Washington, DC, in 1984–1985, and was then promoted to ambassador and permanent representative to the European Economic Community from 1985 to 1990. After that posting he spent the next five years as ambassador and permanent representative to the United Nations.[1]
Whilst in his role as ambassador to the UN in 1994, Hannay was one of several who objected to the use of the term "genocide" in a UN Security Council draft resolution on the killings in Rwanda. The term was removed from the final resolution thus delaying UN action to prevent further bloodshed.
