General Debate statements

44 statements to the General Debate since 1980, 110,076 words in all. The longest was 1982, at 5,121 words, delivered by TANNIS.

Of the 32 statements since 1994 whose speaker’s post the record gives: Prime Minister ×13, Minister for Foreign Affairs ×8, Prime Minister, Minister for Finance, the Public Service, National Security, Legal Affairs and Grenadines Affairs ×4, 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.
