Uses per year, 1960–2025. The tallest bar is 1976. Counted by worldbody.org over the UN General Debate Corpus; the chart is our own measurement.

What this counts, and what it does not. This is the number of times the spellings non-aligned, nonaligned appear in the text of General Debate statements, matched on word boundaries and ignoring case. It is a fact about a word. It is not a measure of how much any state cared about the subject, what position it took, or whether it meant it — and nothing on this page should be read that way.

The final year of this series is machine-transcribed from the official simultaneous interpretation rather than taken from a UN transcript, so it counts what a transcriber heard. See session 80.

A state that speaks every year has more chances to use a word than one admitted in 2011, and a state whose statements are longer has more again. These are counts, not rates.
