General Debate statements

25 statements to the General Debate since 2001, 51,651 words in all. The longest was 2025, at 3,139 words, delivered by Feleti Teo.

Of the 25 statements since 1994 whose speaker’s post the record gives: Prime Minister ×15, UN Representative ×3, Deputy Prime Minister ×2, Prime Minister and Minister for Public Utilities ×2. 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.
