United Nations Organization : Multilingual Glossary

The terminology and phraseology of this multilingual Glossary - in whose compilation the Authors have availed themselves of the valued assistance of a number of international translators and linguistic experts - is exlusively based on the specific language found in official decisions, resolutions and declarations of the U.N. as well as in other documents and instruments emanating from U.N. organs such as the Security Council, the General Assembly, and the Economic and Social Council. In order to underscore the increased relevance in world affairs of the Arabic language, an English-Arabic lexicon has also been added to the substantial number of cross-referenced entries in English, French, German and Italian. Political scientists, reference librarians, as well as translators and interpreters dealing with international matters will find this volume a unique and valuable aid in their professional endeavors.
