Updated, September 25 — Fall in New York kicks off with the opening debate of the UN General Assembly. Per tradition, Brazil kicks off the General Debate of the 72nd session with remarks by President Michel Temer, with U.S. President Donald Trump following directly after in his first address to the body. The theme of this year’s debate is “Focusing on People: Striving for Peace and a Decent Life for All on a Sustainable Planet.”
Morning sessions run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and afternoon ones from 3 to 9 p.m. Speakers are typically allotted 20 minutes per speech, although leaders—especially those from the Americas—regularly exceed their time. Remarks can be viewed via UN Web TV.
