General Debate statements
77 statements to the General Debate since 1949, 277,975 words in all. The longest was 1970, at 7,788 words, delivered by Mr. EBAN.
Of the 32 statements since 1994 whose speaker’s post the record gives: Prime Minister ×15, Deputy Prime Minister ×10, Minister for Foreign Affairs ×3, Minister for Foreign Affairs and Minister for Intelligence ×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.
