General Debate statements

53 statements to the General Debate since 1972, 115,291 words in all. The longest was 1988, at 4,005 words, delivered by Mr. ABDULLAH.

Of the 31 statements since 1994 whose speaker’s post the record gives: Minister for Foreign Affairs ×21, Minister Responsible for Foreign Affairs ×4, Minister of Foreign Affairs ×3, Foreign 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.
