On-line Access to UN Documents simplified: undocs.org + symbol = doc

To access an official UN document, simply select the new Quick Link URL – docs.un.org

Documents are arranged according to official UN symbols. General Assembly documents, for example, are assigned the unique symbol ‘A’, and are further identified by session and document number. Hence, typing in docs.un.org/A/65/537 in a web browser will allow you to bypass additional Official Document System related search steps and will result in immediate access to the specific GA document.

Similarly, Security Council documents are assigned the unique symbol ‘S’. To find a particular Security Council Resolution, you would only need to type in docs.un.org/S/RES/1969(2011). For more information on UN Document Symbols, please refer to the Research Guide to United Nations Document Symbols.
