Sumario:In recent months, more than 24 Permanent Missions to the UN have set up new Web sites to deliver their messages across to varied audiences throughout the world. Through this use of the Internet, officials in their home capitals can access General Assembly and Security Council documents, while Missions in New York have much-improved access to each other's policy statements. Travelers are obtaining maps and visa information, students are locating reference materials, and the public is finding out more about these countries. The Web sites, which will soon be joined by a further 24, were developed as a consequence of a unique collaboration between DePaul University and the Permanent Missions, with input from the UN Institute for Training and Research and the UN Information and Technology Services Division at UN Headquarters.
