Strategies for finding Diplomatic Proposals that have been transmitted to the UN by Member States

When a Member State submits a proposal to the UN in the form of a letter to the Security Council or General Assembly, you can locate the citation, including the UN document symbol, for that document using UNBISnet, the UN Library catalog.
