Jacques Gabriel Huntzinger (born 8 January 1943) is a former
During the late 1990s, Huntzinger was the French ambassador to Macedonia and was heavily involved in international efforts to address various Balkan issues, including the Kosovo War.[6]
At the request of François Mitterrand, Huntzinger organized initial "Mediterranean Forums" for non-governmental entities from Algeria, France, Italy, Morocco, Portugal, Spain, and Tunisia. These forums were held during February 1988 (Marseilles) and May 1989 (Tangier) and resulted in the creation of the 5+5 Dialogue of the Western Mediterranean Forum for foreign ministers from Algeria, France, Italy, Libya, Malta, Mauritania, Morocco, Portugal, Spain, and Tunisia. Huntzinger was instrumental in organizing the first 5+5 Dialogue held in 1990. This effort was dampened by the Gulf War, Algerian Civil War and the Lockerbie and UTA airplane bombings,[7] but the 5+5 Dialogue has recovered to become a significant regional forum. Huntzinger also coordinated the Mediterranean Cultural Forum in 2008 and engaged in numerous other efforts to encourage dialogue among Mediterranean constituents.[8][9]
Jacques Huntzinger currently serves as president of the Lyrique en Mer/Festival de Belle Île.
Jacques Huntzinger is the great-nephew of Charles Huntzinger, the French general who negotiated the 1940 armistice with Germany.

Later in 1981, Neiertz was replaced by Jacques Huntzinger, one of the few Socialist Party members familiar with nuclear weapons strategy and arms control. Huntzinger had defended the French nuclear force in an article written three years before Mitterrand's election. He moved the Socialist Party doctrine toward concern with "restoring deterrence."
