General Debate statements

68 statements to the General Debate since 1946, 191,738 words in all. The longest was 1991, at 5,942 words, delivered by Jean-Bertrand Aristide.

Of the 32 statements since 1994 whose speaker’s post the record gives: President ×16, Minister for Foreign Affairs ×8, Prime Minister ×3, President of the Presidential Council of the Transition ×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.
