- UNBISnet provides a database of speeches delivered at the various bodies of the United nations, including the General Assembly, the Security Council, the Economic and Social Countil and the Trusteeship Council.
- Scroll down to Index to Speeches and opt for New Keyword Search.
- From this page, you can search by a speaker's name, a country or organization of origin, topics, speech dates and more. Choose your options from the drop down menus in the search boxes. Be careful to call your country by the official name: for example Russia is Russian Federation.
- To find speeches given in the General Assembly, limit your search to General Assembly in the Limits box.
- The Drew Library has Index to Proceedings of the General Assembly (Reference JX 1977.A44 session/part) which indexes speeches at the General Assembly for each session by corporate name/country; by speaker; and by subject. Part II lists speeches by country/people. This print resource is easy to use. Drew Library owns these publications from the 8th Session onward. Helpful tip: sometimes heads of States give speeches at the opening session of the General Assembly (and other venues, like the Security Council). At the end of the listing for your country (Part II of the Index to Proceedings), see if there is a section for President or Prime Minister or some such designation where speeches by heads of States would be listed. Online access to the Proceedings is also available from 2008 onward at http://www.un.org/depts/dhl/deplib/docs/ITP/list.htm. Download the pdf version and use the "find" function to find speeches by your delegate/head of state. Use the library's print collection to find speeches from Proceedings prior to 63rd session.
