General Debate statements

73 statements to the General Debate since 1947, 219,892 words in all. The longest was 1970, at 6,853 words, delivered by Mr. GUERRERO.

Of the 31 statements since 1994 whose speaker’s post the record gives: President ×26, Minister for Foreign Affairs ×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.
