General Debate statements

64 statements to the General Debate since 1959, 218,866 words in all. The longest was 1962, at 18,952 words, delivered by Mr. Sékou Touré.

Of the 32 statements since 1994 whose speaker’s post the record gives: Minister for Foreign Affairs ×16, President ×8, Prime Minister ×4, Minister of State, Secretary-General of the Presidency ×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.
