Before we begin with the list of speakers for the general debate, I would like to address important organizational matters pertaining to the conduct of the plenary meetings.
The introduction of pre-recorded statements will be made by representatives from their national seats. Due to time constraints, it is expected that introductory remarks will be kept concise. Statements delivered by high-level representatives who are physically present in the Assembly Hall can be made from their national seats or from the rostrum.
As set out in resolution 75/260, statements in the general debate will be limited to three minutes for individual delegations and five minutes for statements made on behalf of a group of States. In the case of pre-recorded statements, the introductory remarks and the length of the video itself shall be counted in the allocated time limit.
In accordance with decision 75/563, in addition to the verbatim records of the high-level meeting, the President of the General Assembly will circulate, as a document of the Assembly, a compilation document of the statements delivered by means of pre-recorded statements during the high-level meeting and submitted to the President no later than the day on which the pre-recorded statement is played in the Assembly Hall, and such pre-recorded statements will be attached to the verbatim records of the meeting. Submissions in that regard should be made to estatements@un.org.
