General Debate statements
46 statements to the General Debate since 1965, 119,479 words in all. The longest was 1977, at 5,077 words, delivered by Ake.
Of the 31 statements since 1994 whose speaker’s post the record gives: Minister for Foreign Affairs ×13, President ×10, Vice-President ×3, Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Integration and Ivorians Abroad ×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.
