Reference works; United Nations & UN agencies

This new edition of the most comprehensive and detailed reference ever published on the United Nations thoroughly revises and updates the 1990 edition. It demystifies the workings of this multifaceted world body, with accessible articles on every country, organization, office, and department within the United Nations as well as on every non-governmental organization, committee, and joint effort (such as peacekeeping operations) that is in any way connected to the

United Nations. It also defines every international treaty since the founding of the League of Nations, and gives lengthy quotations or the full text of many treaties, depending on their importance. The extensive cross-referencing will help users navigate the many acronyms and multiple names of organizations, treaties and meetings, and a thorough, analytical index provides another access point.

Reviews for Encyclopedia of the United Nations and International Agreements

The most comprehensive, definitive encyclopedic work on the UN. Completely overhauled, refreshed, reconstituted, revivified, this edition stands as a distinguished contribution to the reference literature in international affairs. The set is in a class by itself... Ambitiously rich... Essential. All international relations collections. - Choice, May 2003 An outstanding reference tool... This set is highly recommended to academic, medium to large public libraries, and any schools supporting active model U.N. programs. - Lawrence Looks at Books, Gale Reference Reviews, March 2003 Covers organizations not listed elsewhere... In addition it has terms and treaties that are not listed in other works. It is more scholarly and detailed than Facts On File's one-volume Encyclopedia of the United Nations, and large academic and public libraries will want to seriously consider it. - Booklist/RBB, June 2003
