9More Good News...UN Yearbook for Global Research

OK, stocks have tanked recently, retirement plans are looking sad, credit is squeezed, banks may be semi-nationalized...but one thing we are learning is that causes and effects are truly global. What better time could there be for yet another wonderful new international law and relations tool to be released, and this is a formerly expensive CD now made free as a digital repository: the Yearbook of the United Nations
now online from 1946 through 2005! In its print incarnation, this is where I send students for gathering information on the UN actions regarding major world events and the documents supporting those actions. It is more context-rich than AccessUN, and voting records on resolutions of the General Assembly are included. It is in PDF. Searching appears easy.
For example one can just search for "Gulf War" across the 1991-1998 volumes, as in HeinOnline, and get the actions and documents collected in the relevant sections of these very large volumes. Brilliant, and perfect for what one hopes is a new age of cooperation and multilateralism.
