Released in annual editions of 6 volumes, the Annual Review of
United Nations Affairs is the only thorough annual survey of major
developments at the United Nations. The 2015/2016 edition includes
the full text of all General Assembly, Security Council, and ECOSOC
resolutions from the 70th United Nations session (Sept. 2015 to
Sept. 2016), along with other key UN documents, including the
annual reports of the Secretary-General on the work of the
Organization, of the ICJ and international criminal tribunals, and
of various funds and programs of the United Nations system. This
edition also includes a Preface by the series editors and five
introductory commentaries 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, and the Secretariat.
The Annual Review of United Nations Affairs series 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, 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, and the series'
topic-based organization of the materials is also useful to
researchers. Beginning with the 2010/2011 edition, detailed
commentaries on the various UN bodies by experts on the relevant
topics were 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 is
an important reference source for policy-makers and academic
researchers alike.
