The 67th session of the UN General Assembly's General Debate starts Tuesday, with over 120 world leaders coming to Manhattan to deliver a series of speeches.

The General Assembly has been met with memorable speeches or actions by several world leaders throughout the years, some captured below.

Libyan Leader Moammar Gaddafi (2009):

The former Libyan leader first took the time to congratulate President Barack Obama as "our son." He added that the swine flu epidemic was created from a laboratory and meant to use as a military weapon. He also asked for the investigation to the death of President John F. Kennedy be reopened.

Gaddafi would rip the UN Charter stating the organization needs to be reformed with equal voting rights. He would toss the papers at the directing of UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.

The speech ended up taking 90 minutes, more than the expected time allotted.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez (2006):

For Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, his 2006 speech has been highlighted for praising a book by Noam Chomsky. Chavez stated the book perfectly describes the threat that is the United States and called George W. Bush the devil.


Iranian Prime Minister Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (2010):

For Prime Minister Ahmadinejad, he used the podium of the General Assembly Hall to talk about Islam and how the Sept. 11 terrorist attack were an "inside job" done by the US government.

He said, "Please take note: it was said that some 3,000 people were killed on September 11th, for which we are all very saddened. Yet, up until now, in Afghanistan and Iraq hundreds of thousands of people have been killed, millions wounded and displaced and the conflict is still going on and expanding."

Palestinian Leader Mahmoud Abbas (2011):

Abbas was met with a standing ovation as he made his way to the General Assembly Hall's podium as it he submitted an application to give Palestine full membership status in the UN, rather than an observer which gives them no voting rights. The decision fell upon the members of the Security Council and would eventually deny the application.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (2011):

For Netanyahu, he spoke about extending a hand in peace to several countries in the Middle East and North Africa such as Egypt, Jordan, Tunisia, Syria, Lebanon, and even Iran.

"But most especially, I extend my hand to the Palestinian people, with whom we seek a just and lasting peace," added Netanyahu. "Ladies and gentlemen, in Israel our hope for peace never wanes."

He further spoke on the relationship of Islam and its role in terrorism.

US President Barack Obama (2011):

President Obama spoke on various topics, from the commitment to leave Iraq, form a transition in Afghanistan to they develop a better security force, the Arab Spring including the role democracy is now playing in Egypt and Libya, and the situation in Iran.

Obama noted, "Let us be honest with ourselves: Israel is surrounded by neighbors that have waged repeated wars against it. Israel's citizens have been killed by rockets fired at their houses and suicide bombs on their buses. Israel's children come of age knowing that throughout the region, other children are taught to hate them. Israel, a small country of less than eight million people, look out at a world where leaders of much larger nations threaten to wipe it off of the map."
