The United Nations’ redesigned treaty and documents web pages

Over the summer, the United Nations launched several webpage redesigns.  The main UN and UN Dag Hammarskjöld Library pages have changed, so check them out.

In addition, the UN Treaties Database page was redesigned so that the Status of Treaties (formerly Multilateral Treaties Deposited with the Secretary-General/MTDSG) is now under the Depositary tab. Note that there is no longer a “search for treaties by popular name” functionality. The United Nations Treaty Series (UNTS) and League of Nations Treaty Series (LNTS) are now under the Registration & Publication tab.

The ODS has PDF UN official documents back to 1993, and increasingly more and more pre-1993 documents are being digitized and added.  The ODS provides access to all UN resolutions. Note that Enterprise ODS also includes League of Nations (LON) documents (to the left of the search box, under the drop-down menu that says “All ODS”, is an option to search League of Nations documents).

Finally, the blue, “classic,” and Enhanced interfaces of the Official Documents System (ODS) of the UN have morphed into this page:
