International Governmental Organizations (IGOs): Guide by Organization: The United Nations

The main print index to the documents and publications of the UN and its subsidiary bodies. Indexing to UN materials has undergone numerous changes over the years:

From 1979-1996, the main index to UN materials was UNDOC: Current Index. For the period 1974 - 1978, the analogous index was UNDEX: United Nations Documents Index. From 1950 - 1973, indexing was provided by the United Nations Documents Index (UNDI). A cumulated index for 1950-1962 is shelved following UNDI. The specialized agencies are indexed in this series only until 1962. There are substantial differences in the coverage of these indexes; be sure to read the explanatory material provided in the volumes.
Index to Proceedings of the General Assembly JZ5006.I64
Index to Proceedings of the Security Council JX1977.A5
Index to the Proceedings of the Trusteeship Council (-1994) ST/LIB/Ser. B
Index to the Proceedings of the Economic and Social Council ST/LIB/Ser. B

As the ever increasing number of Security Council resolutions and statements is nowadays easily available through the UN home page, this booklet will guide you thematically through these documents without the texts of the resolutions and statements being reproduced. This work contains the essential tools, presented in a chronological order, and classified on a topic basis to help you find and compare the English and French texts electronically.Part I contains matters concerning the maintenance of international peace and security; Part II contains other matters considered by the Security Council. The next division is a geographical one, each geographical region being subdivided into numbered topics. The corpus of this Thematic Guide consists of an analytical table of resolutions, statements and letters. Additional tools are made available in the annexes: a chronological list and the composition of the Security Council (1946-2000). This booklet is a sequence to the previous two editions by Karel Wellens of Resolutions and Statements of the United Nations Security Council: A Thematic Guide.
