New United Nations Treaty Collection Website

"The Treaty Section of the Office of Legal Affairs, United Nations, is pleased to announce its new and substantially enhanced Web site in English and French at United Nations Treaty Collection (UNTC), is the authoritative source of information on multilateral treaties deposited with the UN Secretary-General and treaties registered with the UN Secretariat. A user name and password are no longer needed to access the collection..." The new URL is http://treaties.un.org.

The library's links have been updated. While the website has a new format, you can still find the familiar databases. The first link is to Status of Treaties, which is the database for Multilateral Treaties Deposited with the Secretary-General. Once on the site, the format is similar to the old site, but with more choices on the left-hand side.
