General Debate statements

26 statements to the General Debate since 2000, 51,901 words in all. The longest was 2000, at 3,095 words, delivered by Vinci Niel Clodumar.

Of the 26 statements since 1994 whose speaker’s post the record gives: President ×22, UN Representative ×3, Chair of the Delegation ×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.
