General Debate statements

79 statements to the General Debate since 1946, 258,800 words in all. The longest was 1973, at 7,758 words, delivered by Huerta.

Of the 32 statements since 1994 whose speaker’s post the record gives: President ×21, Minister for Foreign Affairs ×10, Minister for Foregn Affairs ×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.
