Description:
Currently, access to information about Member States’ participation in the UN is scattered throughout various websites and online databases. To find this information requires extensive training in UN information resources. This initiative used a wiki to gather and organize information consistently requested by Member States and the wider UN community.
The content was then migrated to a content management system and posted on deleGATE – iSeek for Member States (www.un.int) to provide public access to the information.
This initiative, dubbed "Member States on the Record" will make it easier to get to the primary source materials related to the Member States (e.g. content produced by the Member States, and published by the UN). Among other resources, this includes meeting records, periodic reports for human rights treaties and the presentation of the credentials of Permanent Representatives. It can be accessed through deleGATE (www.un.int).
