General Debate speaker

Abdul-Baqi

Addressed the General Debate 2 times for Iraq, between 1972 and 1973 — 6,836 words in all. The longest was 1972, at 3,805.

The record gives a surname and no more. United Nations rosters before the mid-1990s often record only a family name, so these 2 statements are grouped by that name and the name of the state. Where a state sent two people who shared a surname, this page would combine them, and nothing in the record would show it.

Statements

United Nations records do not consistently identify a speaker’s office before 1994, so a blank means the record does not say.

What the statements mention most

colonialism 13 terrorism 9 self determination 7 non aligned 4 disarmament 3 refugees 2 genocide 1 apartheid 1

Counts of words from a published list across these 2 statements. A count is a fact about a word: it is not a measure of what this person believed, argued for, or cared about, and nothing on this page should be read that way.

Everything here is drawn from what Abdul-Baqi said in an official capacity at the rostrum of the General Assembly, as published by the United Nations. Nothing else about them is collected or inferred.
