The 73rd session of the United Nations General Assembly opened on September 18, which will last for three months, and then will recongregate as required.

On September 25, the general debate began, in which each member state of the UN is invited to speak for 15 minutes.

It is an opportunity for nations to address the international community and is often used as a way to air grievances.

Each day of the General Assembly general debate runs in two parts. The morning session starts at 9am (Coordinated Universal Time-5), and runs until 2.45pm. The afternoon sessions start at 3pm and run until 9pm.

The list below was updated on September 27 and is subject to changes in UN scheduling. Countries missing below have been moved from their original slot to later this week with their timing yet to be announced.
