General Debate statements

53 statements to the General Debate since 1971, 147,576 words in all. The longest was 1972, at 6,823 words, delivered by Sir Edward Cakobau.

Of the 32 statements since 1994 whose speaker’s post the record gives: Prime Minister ×18, Minister for Foreign Affairs ×4, UN Representative ×4, President ×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.
