General Debate speaker

AL-THAWR

Addressed the General Debate 2 times for Yemen, between 1982 and 1983 — 10,582 words in all. The longest was 1982, at 5,673.

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

self determination 6 terrorism 6 nuclear weapons 5 torture 5 colonialism 3 cold war 3 detente 3 disarmament 3

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 AL-THAWR 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.
