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

40 statements to the General Debate since 1985, 95,214 words in all. The longest was 1999, at 3,736 words, delivered by Denzil Douglas.

Of the 32 statements since 1994 whose speaker’s post the record gives: Prime Minister ×17, Minister for Foreign Affairs ×7, Prime Minister and Minister for Sustainable Development, National Security, People Empowerment and Constituency Empowerment ×3, Deputy Prime Minister ×3. 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.
