Center for UN Documents
The main voice with which the UN speaks to the world is through documents which are negotiated among UN Member States. The Center for UN Documents is a compendium of the most important documents negotiated by UN Member States concerning international social policy.
The Center lists documents which are binding on States that ratify them, such as the 1966 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and those that are non-binding documents stating aspirations such as the 1994 Plan of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development in Cairo.
