The Center for Economic and Social Rights obtained these confidential documents from several UN personnel who believe that the potential humanitarian impact of war is a matter of global public concern that should be discussed fully and openly. For further information, please contact Roger Normand, CESR Executive Director (tel +1-718-237-9145 ext. 12, rnormand@cesr.org) or Sarah Zaidi, CESR Research Director (tel +1-718-237-9145 ext. 19, szaidi@cesr.org) in the US, or Glen Rangwala (07880 665731) in the UK.

Note: If you wish to provide links to any of the scanned PDF documents listed above, we would request that you link to this page (http://www.casi.org.uk/info/undocs/internal.html) rather than directly to the PDF files. In the future we may offer links on this page to text format transcriptions of the documents; by linking direct to the scanned PDF documents you will deny people the option of choosing the text versions if and when they appear.
