General Debate statements

66 statements to the General Debate since 1950, 170,040 words in all. The longest was 1984, at 5,960 words, delivered by Paz Barnica.

Of the 31 statements since 1994 whose speaker’s post the record gives: President ×21, Minister for Foreign Affairs ×7, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation ×1, Delegation ×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.
