General Debate statements

37 statements to the General Debate since 1979, 84,874 words in all. The longest was 1979, at 4,271 words, delivered by Seraphin.

Of the 29 statements since 1994 whose speaker’s post the record gives: Prime Minister ×8, President ×6, Minister for Foreign Affairs ×5, UN Representative ×5. 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.
