Senate, House and Treaty Documents
A subset of GPO Access, a database of congressional documents. This database contains selected House, Senate, and treaty documents from the 104th Congress (1995-96) through the present. Only the Congressional documents that are printed by the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) are included. The “Catalog of Available Documents,” which appears as the first hit in every results list, lists by report number all of the documents that are currently available via GPO Access.

While State reports and concluding observations constitute the core of the database, you will also find other full-text documents and factual data (Reporting Status, Status of Ratification) concerning reporting process and ratification of the treaties, as well as information relating to the UN Committees. Well organized, can be sorted by country.
