General Debate statements

63 statements to the General Debate since 1962, 200,260 words in all. The longest was 1973, at 7,151 words, delivered by Bouteflika.

Of the 32 statements since 1994 whose speaker’s post the record gives: Minister for Foreign Affairs ×19, President ×7, Minister of Foreign Affairs ×3, Minister of State ×1. Earlier years are excluded because UN records do not consistently identify a speaker’s post before 1994, and counting those years as though they did would make any state look as though it sent nobody senior.
