NEW YORK, 23 December -- The United Nations today announced the
availability of its Official Document System (ODS), the premier
full-text web resource for official United Nations documentation, to
the general public via http://documents.un.org, as of 31 December
2004. The ODS covers all types of official United Nations
documentation originating from duty stations worldwide, including
selective documents of the regional commissions: Economic and Social
Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA), Economic and Social Commission
for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), Economic Commission for Latin
America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) and Economic Commission for Europe
(ECE).

Comprehensive coverage starts in 1993. Older United Nations documents
are added to the system on a daily basis. Selective coverage of
General Assembly and Security Council documentation currently reaches
back to 1985. The ODS also provides access to the resolutions of the
General
Assembly, Security Council, Economic and Social Council and the
Trusteeship Council from 1946 onwards.

Currently, the ODS contains close to 800,000 files and approximately
100,000 new documents are added each year.

Users may take advantage of the ODS benefits such as: quick access
to valuable United Nations official documents, easy-to-use search
functionality, easy-to-print PDF documents and user-friendly design.
