The numbers

World Bank, World Development Indicators, CC BY 4.0. The sparkline shows the shape of each run from its first reported year; the number beside it carries the magnitude, and there is deliberately no axis on it.

General Debate statements

68 statements to the General Debate since 1948, 177,752 words in all. The longest was 1994, at 5,791 words, delivered by Mr. Gyaw.

Of the 27 statements since 1994 whose speaker’s post the record gives: Minister for Foreign Affairs ×18, Union Minister for the Office of the State Counsellor ×2, Union Minister of the Office of the State Counsellor ×1, Vice-President ×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.
