Story summary
Brazil has been given the honor of delivering the opening speech at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) for decades, with the US traditionally following as the second speaker due to its status as the host country. This tradition dates back years and is part of a larger speaking order that dictates which countries address the assembly first. Al Jazeera’s Farah Samir provides insight into how this long-standing protocol came about and how the rest of the speaking sequence is determined.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
