General Debate statements

60 statements to the General Debate since 1961, 167,964 words in all. The longest was 1973, at 5,908 words, delivered by Ratsiraka.

Of the 30 statements since 1994 whose speaker’s post the record gives: President ×18, Minister for Foreign Affairs ×7, Prime Minister and Head of Government ×2, Prime Minister ×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.
