a. The 2011-2012 Edition Released in annual editions each
containing 5-7 volumes, the Annual Review of United Nations Affairs
is the only thorough annual survey of major developments at the
United Nations. The 2011/2012 edition includes the full text of all
General Assembly, Security Council, and ECOSOC resolutions from the
66th United Nations session (Sept. 2011 to Sept. 2012), along with
other key UN documents, including selected progress reports from UN
peacekeeping, peace-building, and political missions. This edition
also includes six introductory articles written by expert
contributors. These introductions offer invaluable guidance on the
activities of various United Nations bodies, including the General
Assembly, the Security Council, the Economic and Social Council,
the International Court of Justice and Tribunals, the Secretariat,
and the Peacekeeping and Peace-building Missions. The 2011/2012
edition also features a Foreword by Lord Mark Malloch Brown KCMG,
former UK Minister for Africa, Asia, and the UN, and former United
Nations Deputy Secretary-General and Administrator of UNDP. b. The
set generally Since the publication of its first edition in 1950,
the Annual Review of United Nations Affairs has stood as the
authoritative resource for scholars, students, and practitioners
researching the latest developments at the United Nations. From
introductory articles on particular topics, prepared by experts on
the relevant United Nations bodies, to the full-text presentation
of reports and resolutions and the helpful subject index, ARUNA
provides a comprehensive tour of each year's UN actions and
debates. The expert selection of documents by Joachim Muller and
Karl Sauvant and the topic-based organization of those documents
make any researcher's task much easier than the vast searching and
sorting required by the UN's website. The series' topic-based
organization of the materials and subject index lend invaluable
guidance to all researchers. Beginning with the 2010/2011 edition,
detailed commentaries on the various UN bodies by experts on the
relevant topics were also added to each annual edition, and the
analysis provided in these commentaries has helped to make ARUNA a
more complete resource for anyone engaged in research on the
activities of the United Nations. ARUNA presents comprehensive
documentation of the work of the UN on an annual basis, starting in
September of each year with the beginning of the regular sessions
of the General Assembly. Coverage of and commentary on the UN's key
organs are provided, including the General Assembly, the Security
Council, the Economic and Social Council, the International Court
of Justice, and the UN Secretariat. In addition, selected reports
of intergovernmental bodies and expert groups are included. ARUNA
occupies a special place in the publications on the work of the UN,
as it allows readers to obtain an overview of the principal
developments in its key organs. This makes it an important
reference source for policy-makers and academic researchers.
