General Debate speaker

Subandrio

Addressed the General Debate 3 times for Indonesia, between 1957 and 1964 — 21,073 words in all. The longest was 1961, at 11,784.

Also recorded as “SUBANDRIO”, — 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 Subandrio 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.
