General Debate speaker

Rahim

Addressed the General Debate 2 times for Yemen, between 1958 and 1959 — 7,375 words in all. The longest was 1958, at 4,091.

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

refugees 16 self determination 14 disarmament 7 cold war 3 human rights 2 colonialism 1 poverty 1 outer space 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 Rahim 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.
