General Debate statements

48 statements to the General Debate since 1977, 118,257 words in all. The longest was 1980, at 4,539 words, delivered by Jorge.

Of the 32 statements since 1994 whose speaker’s post the record gives: Minister for Foreign Affairs ×16, President ×8, Vice-President ×3, Chair of the Delegation ×2. 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.
