Writing for the United Nations

Some material on this workshop course is based on the training programme 'Writing for the United Nations' run at New York HQ.

You can follow this course online here. As well as giving useful tips on report writing, the course also gives examples of report formats commonly used in the Security Council, the Secretariat and other United Nations organs.

Another useful source of reference for United Nations reports is the UN Documentation Centre.

For general advice on drafting and editing in the United Nations, see The United Nations Editorial Manual Online.
