General Debate statements
54 statements to the General Debate since 1972, 121,005 words in all. The longest was 1992, at 3,692 words, delivered by Mr. Al-Nuaimi.
Of the 32 statements since 1994 whose speaker’s post the record gives: Minister for Foreign Affairs ×21, Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation ×5, Minister of Foreign Affairs ×3, Minister of State ×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.
