General Debate speaker

Saint-Laurent

Addressed the General Debate 2 times for Canada, between 1946 and 1947 — 2,714 words in all. The longest was 1946, at 1,521.

Also recorded as “Saint Laurent” — 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.

Everything here is drawn from what Saint-Laurent 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.
