UN document symbols are an important way that researchers refer to UN documents. This guide provides information about the first elements of document symbols that refer to a particular UN body.
The content of this guide is based on the UN publication, ST/LIB/SER.B/5/Rev.5, United Nations Document Series Symbols, 1946-1996. Information for series symbols assigned since 1996 has been added. Additional information about selected bodies has also been added to help researchers.
