General Debate speaker
El-Khouri
Addressed the General Debate 3 times for Syria, between 1946 and 1948 — 8,543 words in all. The longest was 1947, at 3,704.
Also recorded as “EL-KHOURI”, “el-Khouri”, — the roster spells one person several ways across the decades, and these statements are grouped as one.
The record gives a surname and no more. United Nations rosters before the mid-1990s often record only a family name, so these 3 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.

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

Counts of words from a published list across these 3 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 El-Khouri 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.
