General Debate statements

69 statements to the General Debate since 1956, 219,754 words in all. The longest was 1960, at 9,208 words, delivered by Mr. GHEORGHIU-DEJ.

Of the 32 statements since 1994 whose speaker’s post the record gives: Minister for Foreign Affairs ×15, President ×11, Prime Minister ×3, 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.
