| Briefings on UN Events | |||
|
Several organizations provide daily or weekly briefings. All of these include a free registration, after which you will receive the news briefs in your e-mail. |
|||
| 1. |
The UN Wire is a 5-day a
week publication, sponsored by the UN Foundation. This is one of the
best available sources of timely UN information, with approximately 25
brief articles each day on current UN issues, by category. Receive it in
your e-mail, or online.

The Opening Speeches in the General Assembly were
broadcast via live web feed each day of the opening session, and these
are typically available for download throughout the year. General Debate
began 23 September and continues through 30 September. >> see speeches |
|
| 2. |
The United Nations Information Centre (UNIC)
in Washington, DC publishes a weekly newsletter with information on the
latest UN issues. The current week, along with back issues, can be
accessed on this page. >> sign up |
The UN also has a variety of other webcasts and UNTV
broadcasts happening each week, including many of the open meetings of the GA, Security Council and various other UN bodies. Since most Model UN participants never get a chance to see what they are simulating live, webcasts can be an excellent alternative to give your students a "feel" for what happens at the UN. >> see all webcasts |
|
| 3. |
The European Union has
recently enhanced the UN information available on the web, including an
e-mail alert service. You can sign up for free e-mail information. >> sign up |
Many, many of the documents that
participants will want to utilize in their research are available or
linked on the web page of the
64th General Assembly, in particular,
we recommend that students review the resolutions and "Verbatim Records"
of appropriate GA meetings to view the actual speeches given in the
General Assembly. These are typically listed on the "Resolution" page
for that year; for instance, find here the records for the
60th General Assembly.
Links are also available to previous years. Comparable Verbatim Records
for the Security Council, along with other details of Council action,
can be found at
