General Debate statements
23 statements to the General Debate since 2003, 44,473 words in all. The longest was 2024, at 2,960 words, delivered by Teburoro Tito.
Of the 23 statements since 1994 whose speaker’s post the record gives: President ×11, President, Head of Government and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Immigration ×5, Head of Government ×2, Deputy Prime Minister ×2. 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.
