General Debate speaker

Rogers-Wright

Addressed the General Debate 2 times for Sierra Leone, between 1964 and 1965 — 7,356 words in all. The longest was 1964, at 4,364.

Also recorded as “ROGERS-WRIGHT” — 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 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

disarmament 7 colonialism 5 peacekeeping 5 apartheid 4 non aligned 3 decolonization 2 nuclear weapons 1 poverty 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 Rogers-Wright 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.
