General Debate statements

63 statements to the General Debate since 1961, 206,995 words in all. The longest was 1961, at 9,969 words, delivered by Mr. Thiam.

Of the 32 statements since 1994 whose speaker’s post the record gives: President ×19, Minister for Foreign Affairs ×10, Minister for Foreign Affairs and Senegalese Abroad ×1, Minister for Foreign Affairs and Senegalese Living Abroad ×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.
