AccessUN is the online version of the Index to United Nations Documents and Publications.
The index includes current and retrospective United Nations documents and publications from the six main bodies of the United Nations:  General Assembly, Security Council, Economic and Social Council, Trusteeship Council, Secretariat and International Court of Justice.  Coverage is from 1991 to the present.

Masthead documents, Official Records, Sales Publications, limited and restricted documents, sessional and standing committee documents, functional commissions, conferences and regional bodies are the basis of the Index.

Bilateral and multilateral treaties, and articles appearing in UN periodicals are also indexed. 
The database is primarily a catalog, but full-text documents from the General Assembly, Security Council and the Economic and Social Council are appended to their respective bibliographic citations.  Where full-text is not provided, reference to the document number is, allowing the user to locate a copy of the document at UNBISNET (http://unbisnet.un.org), which also provides it in a PDF format.
