United Nations documents reflect shared global priorities.  They include important agreements in areas such as disarmament, energy, the environment, health, human rights, technology and trade.
Through UN documents and reports we can study Member State dialogues and UN findings on the world's concerns. Security Council, General Assembly and ECOSOC resolutions represent communal decisions reached by UN Member Governments on major issues. 
UN documents testify to the commitment of nations, under the UN Charter: "to combine their efforts to promote international peace and security .....and better standards of life in larger freedom".
