The librarian for United Nations collection will be glad to assist you locating it.
All official UN documents published since 1993 can now be accessed online via the UN online repository. An effort is underway to digitize UN Official documents published before 1993, and digitized versions of older documents are added daily to their Digital library.
The collection held by the Sciences Po Library is particularly precious because it covers official documents which are not yet digitized.

Any user interested in the UN collections is welcome to access these items at the Library free of charge.
For external users who are not registered patrons: please contact the front desk (30, rue Saint Guillaume, Paris) for a free library card valid one week allowing access exclusively to the UN collections.
