New! HeinOnline brings you the UN

Research UN Treaties through HeinOnline: United Nations Law Collection

HeinOnline now offers its search capabilities for United Nations treaties and many UN documents:

  • United Nations Treaty Series collection and Treaty Handbook
  • International Court of Justice reports
  • UN Commission on International Trade Law
  • UN Yearbooks
  • all UN publications and more. 
You can quickly search by United Nations Treaty Series (U.N.T.S.) citation, by popular name, by a party, by country, by subject, and several other ways. A search can be as easy as choosing the “Search” tab, then “Field Search” and entering terms, names, etc., or choose Advanced Search if you have more information. You will search up to 20 different titles.
Using HeinOnline to locate your UN materials provides an added bonus: Hein will tell you how many law review articles cite this document and provide links to those articles. How’s that for getting a jump on your research?
