About the 1989 edition of the Yearbook

The 1989 YEARBOOK OF THE UNITED NATIONS is the second of three backlog editions (1988, 1989, 1990) to be published. As the publication of Yearbook volumes had been falling behind over a period of time, it was decided to focus on the production of current volumes, with the backlog editions to be done concurrently through the provision of funds by the publisher. The 1988 edition was published in 1994. The 1990 edition is under preparation. The scope, content and breadth coverage of these volumes have been restructured and redefined to enhance the presentation of the main activities and events of each year. The Department of Public Information of the United Nations is committed to clear the backlog and maintain the publication of the current volumes of the Yearbook on a timely annual schedule. As in previous volumes, this volume has been designed to serve as the most comprehensive reference tool for use by the research community and those interested in the activities of the United Nations and its related organizations.
