INTERNET
RESOURCES The Internet is now one of the most heavily used and easily accessible mediums for research and information about the United Nations. Delegates with access to the Internet will soon find that it complements books, such as this Guide, and is invaluable when it comes to obtaining current and historical information for country assignments. The Model U.N. conferences and groups that have their own sites on the World Wide Web invariably have a host of links to other useful Web sites. Delegates will also want to take a look at the sites of other organizations with a vested interest in the work of the United Nations. The Web sites of such organizations as UNA-USA (www.unausa.org) and the American Red Cross (www.redcross.org), for example, contain information on and links to their international interests. The Electronic Embassy site (www.embassy.org), with links to all the embassies online, gives delegates access to the most recent statements and positions of the countries they are researching. Similarly, the CIA World Factbook (www.odci.gov/CIA/publications/factbook) and the International Affairs Network (www.pitt.edu/~an) contain vast amounts of information on every imaginable topic, from area studies and individual country information to broader topics, such as conflict resolution and international economy. News Web sites, such as the CNN site (www.cnn.com), are essential for delegates to keep track of current events. Their archives also provide information about past events. With a little digging, delegates can access nearly all the information they need.
THE U.N. HOME PAGE
The following outline should serve as an introduction to the United Nations Web site (www.un.org). The format for this outline is simple. The main topic headings from the main home page are given. The sub-links are listed directly below these main topic headings. The sub-links are general titles that lead into specific documents and information. Bold headings indicate sites that may be especially useful for delegates preparing for a conference. Delegates should keep in mind that the Web is ever-changing, and many sites and specific locations may have changed since this outline was printed. If this proves to be the case, continue your search and you are bound to find the information that you are looking for.
