General Debate statements

43 statements to the General Debate since 1983, 108,799 words in all. The longest was 1991, at 4,244 words, delivered by Sir Peter KENILOREA.

Of the 32 statements since 1994 whose speaker’s post the record gives: Prime Minister ×15, Deputy Prime Minister ×6, Minister for Foreign Affairs ×6, Minister of Foreign Affairs ×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.
