NEW YORK, 5 April (UN Headquarters) -- The Department of Public Information is pleased to announce the launch of a new website for United Nations press releases and meetings coverage summaries, in English and French, at www.un.org/apps/pressreleases .
The new site consolidates and improves access to coverage of intergovernmental meetings, some while still in progress; statements by the Secretary-General; transcripts of the Spokesman's noon briefing; summaries of press conferences; and other United Nations press releases. It also provides search functions for these various resources, dating back to October 1995, as well as links to various news- and media-related sites at United Nations Headquarters and overseas Offices.
