UN General Assembly documents on the treaty body system



Here is a brief listing of documents filed so far with the fall session (73rd session) of the UN General Assembly relating to the treaty body system. This is a working list, somewhat speculative on my part as to which documents are relevant. Most of these are filed with the Third Committee. Copies can be downloaded at this link except for the Global Compacts, which will eventually be available at the conference link I have provided in the last entry in this table.
