Search UN document symbols
Each UN document is labeled with a unique document symbol, such as A/RES/67/1. All translations of a document have the same symbol.
If you have a document symbol, you can use it to find the document in the Official Document System (ODS).
You can also access the document directly by visiting http://undocs.org/ followed by the document symbol, such as http://undocs.org/A/RES/67/1.
