General Debate statements

38 statements to the General Debate since 1979, 104,462 words in all. The longest was 1999, at 4,999 words, delivered by Ismail Omar Guelleh.

Of the 23 statements since 1994 whose speaker’s post the record gives: President ×7, Minister for Foreign Affairs ×4, UN Representative ×4, President and Head of Government ×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.
