UN General Assembly convenes in New York this week with representatives from all 193 UN member states expected to take the podium
The 10-question quiz challenges readers to match famous lines to the leaders who spoke them from the UNGA podium
Featured quotes span decades of diplomatic moments, from Cold War warnings to wartime appeals
Published 23 Sep 2026, the quiz is timed to the annual session that has hosted modern diplomacy's most quoted moments
