The ECOSOC coordinates the work of five regional commissions with the responsibility to reflect the regional dimensions of the economic and social issues addressed by the United Nations:
Documentation
The Regional Commissions of the ECOSOC submit their annual reports in the documentary series Supplements to the Official Records of the Economic and Social Council. A complete collection of these supplements in print will be found in the UN Collection of the Dag Hammarskjöld Library, Uppsala, and in the libraries at UN Headquarters in New York and Geneva.
Recent supplements are posted as ECOSOC reports on the official web site of the Economic and social Council.
The Regional Commissions publish their documents under their symbols. Documents in print before 1992 can be accessed through the UN Archives of the Dag Hammarskjöld Library, Uppsala, and the libraries at UN Headquarters in New York and Geneva.
Databases and Indexes
Documents from 1993 onwards are stored in the United Nations Official Document system - ODS.
References to documents from the regional Commissions with links to full texts for recent years can be accessed through the United Nations online catalogue - UNBISnet.
A web portal to the Regional Commissions is posted at the UN official web site, Main Bodies, Economic and Social Council.
