General Debate statements

30 statements to the General Debate since 1993, 54,811 words in all. The longest was 1993, at 2,900 words, delivered by Mr. SHIHMURADOV.

Of the 29 statements since 1994 whose speaker’s post the record gives: President ×8, Deputy Prime Minister ×8, Minister for Foreign Affairs ×4, UN Representative ×4. 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.
