The UN General Assembly (UNGA) ‘Annual General Debate’ – Why Brazil Is the 1st Speaker
- Brazil chose to be the first speaker after World War II, when other countries were hesitant.
- The United States, as the host country, typically follows Brazil as the second speaker.
- The order of speakers for the remaining 191 UN member countries is determined by a combination of various factors.
- Each speaker is allocated approximately 15 to 20 minutes, although this time frame is often not strictly adhered to.
- It is generally expected that the country’s head of state will represent the delegation and deliver the speech.
- However, if a country is represented by its officials, such as the External Affairs Minister, their turn typically comes later in the debate.
