Free Online U.N. Docs

[Grace-Ellen McCrann]

19 January 2005

Dear Everybody,

The Official Documents of the United Nations (ODS) 
are now available for free at:
http://documents.un.org/welcome.asp?language=E

This database used to be available only by
subscription.

The bulk of the docs currently in the database are
from 1993 onwards, but older docs are added all the
time. “ODS also provides access to the resolutions 
of the General Assembly, Security Council, Economic
and Social Council and the Trusteeship Council from
1946 onwards.” 

This database does NOT contain the UN Treaty Series 
or the UN Sales Publications. 

As of this writing there are approximately 800,000
docs in this database. The UN hopes to add
approximately 100,000 docs per year. Almost all 
these docs are available in each of the UN’s six
official languages. 

Kind regards,
Grace-Ellen
