The Index to Proceedings (ITP) is an annual/sessional bibliographic guide to the proceedings and documentation of the major organs of the United Nations:

General Assembly (ST/LIB/SER.B/A.-) Economic and Social Council (ST/LIB/SER.B/E.-) Security Council (ST/LIB/SER.B/S.-) Trusteeship Council (1947-1994) (ST/LIB/SER.B/T.-) The ITP is prepared by the UN Dag Hammarskjöld Library at the end of each session/year to allow for all documentation to be issued and included.

It provides citation to the parliamentary documentation, meaning it provides the UN document symbols required to find the desired information in the Official Document System (ODS) or the United Nations Digital Library.

The full collection of the Indexes to Proceedings is available in PDF from the Library website.

The ITP was published in print format until 2011. Since the 65th session of the General Assembly, 66th year of the Security Council and 2010 session of the ECOSOC it has been published only as a digital publication with direct links to the full-text documents in all of the official UN languages.

The ITP is also widely held by UN depository libraries and other libraries worldwide. It is currently available in English only.

Each Index consists of:

A comprehensive subject index to all the documents (reports, letters, meeting records, resolutions, etc.) issued by the body during a particular session/year An index to speeches delivered before the body during a particular session/year. This speech index is divided into three parts: Country/organization Speakers Subjects
