Créée informellement en 1989, la conférence des pays éditeurs de documents diplomatiques a réuni à Paris en octobre 2005, à l'occasion de sa 8e session, une trentaine de délégations qui ont travaillé tant sur des questions de méthodologie que sur un thème historique, celui de la naissance et de l'évolution de l'Organisation des Nations unies. L'ensemble de leurs contributions est réuni dans ce volume, dont la direction des Archives du ministère français des Affaires étrangères, organisatrice de la réunion, a choisi de confier la publication aux éditions Peter Lang, qui publie déjà les Documents diplomatiques français. Le lecteur y trouvera les secrets de fabrication de cette collection et de ses homologues les plus anciennes, et en découvrira d'autres, plus récentes, voire en cours de création. Established unofficially in 1989, the International Conference of Editors of Diplomatic Documents brought together in Paris in October 2005, on the occasion of its 8th meeting, more than thirty delegations. The conference concentrated on the methodology of editing and publishing and chose to focus on the historical theme of the birth and development of the United Nations Organization. Reports and papers presented by the participants are gathered in the present proceedings, the publishing of which was entrusted by the Archives of the ministère des Affaires étrangères to Peter Lang Publishing Group, which is currently responsible for publishing the Documents diplomatiques français. The reader will find in this publication the trade secrets of the French series and of the earliest analogous series of diplomatic documents, as well as discover other more recent collections or even some in the process of being created.

Conventional wisdom has it that the successful functioning of the UN Security Council almost completely depends on the role played by its five permanent members and the extent to which they can agree—or avoid to fundamentally disagree—on the many issues on the Council’s agenda. But the Council also consists of ten non-permanent or elected members who represent five different regions of the world, and who, though not vested with the right of veto, play an indispensable role in Council decision-making. This book aims to take a closer look at that role.
