Here is a brief summary of the answers I got. Several people were interested and asked me to share the information. There were several suggestions that I do a Veronica search. A search turns up UN information, but not necessarily UN docs. A UN consultant sent the following information: "the Department of Public Information of the secretariat does not want it on Internet since some countries do not like "freedom of speech."" He thinks that "much of the UN will never make the nets." ECONET is good for UNCED documents, available through the Insitute for Global Communications, San Francisco, $10 per month. No other details given. Ask psrt-l at missou1 (politicalscience research and teaching list).
