to frequently asked questions, and designed to provide
quick access to document symbols / sales numbers for United
Nations materials (1946 onwards). It focuses on documents
and publications of a recurrent nature: annual/sessional
reports of committees/commissions; annual publications;
reports periodically/irregularly issued; reports of major
conferences; statements in the General Debate; etc. Information
within each record is presented in reverse chronological
order to facilitate identification of the most recent data.

The
multilingual UNBIS Thesaurus contains the terminology used
in subject analysis of documents and other materials relevant
to United Nations programmes and activities. It is used
as the subject authority of the United Nations Bibliographic
and Information System (UNBIS) and has been incorporated
as the subject lexicon of the United
Nations Official Document System. It is multidisciplinary
in scope, reflecting the Organization’s wide-ranging
concerns. The UNBIS Thesaurus is available in all official
languages of the United Nations (Arabic, Chinese, English,
French, Russian and Spanish).
