Many contemporary documents can be found on the website of the issuing body. Below is information about specific library holdings and their online counterparts.
Intergovernmental Documents
United Nations Documents
Online
Check the U.N. Official Document System for indexing and online copies of U.N. parliamentary documents. The O.D.S has full-text, born-digital UN documents published from 1993 onward, including documents of the Security Council, the General Assembly, the Economic and Social Council and their subsidiaries, as well as
administrative issuances and other documents.
The O.D.S. also includes scanned documents published between 1946 and 1993, including all resolutions of the principal organs, all documents of the Security Council and the General Assembly Official Records. Documents are available in the official languages of the UN; some documents are also available in German.
The U.N. Treaty System is the official depository of more than 500 multilateral treaties, with documents dating back to the League of Nations era.
Treaties can also be found in the HeinOnline database.
In Print
Both Mullins Library and the Young Law Library offer collections of United Nations materials. U.N. documents are listed in OneSearch by publication series, for example, Resolutions and Decisions of the Security Council. Use the O.D.S. as an index to identify series of interest and, if the full text is not online, check OneSearch for the location of print copies. .
