Unfortunately, they are dead, and really ugly. In addition, even if they are fixed, their underlying software seems to require an active session to load documents. They must be replaced by something more suitable. ~~I am currently replacing links to UN Security Council Resolutions with undocs.org links. Why?~~ <big><big><b>Mission Brief</b></big></big><br> The links should be replaced with undocs.org links because: * undocs.org links have a simple syntax * ~~Alternatively, these links can~~These beare ~~used~~possible: http://www.un.org/en/ga/search/view_doc.asp?symbol=S/RES/71(1949), but that exposes the underlying asp.net user interface to the user, and may suddenly stop working, unless the administrators take ~~special,~~ painstaking precautions when they upgrade the backend software to use something more sensible.▼ * Links that looks like the following (= almost all of the links) are dead links: http://daccess-dds-ny.un.org/doc/RESOLUTION/GEN/NR0/055/08/IMG/NR005508.pdf?OpenElement * They may be fixed like so: https://documents-dds-ny.un.org/doc/RESOLUTION/GEN/NR0/055/08/IMG/NR005508.pdf?OpenElement, but their underlying software seems to require an active session to load documents, so the first time a user opens a document at their site, it will fail to load. Which is a serious deficiency. ▲* Alternatively, these links can be used: http://www.un.org/en/ga/search/view_doc.asp?symbol=S/RES/71(1949), but that exposes the underlying asp.net user interface to the user, and may suddenly stop working, unless the administrators take special, painstaking precautions when they upgrade the backend software to use something more sensible. * Finally the new official UNSCR documents use undocs.org links, see for example this document: http://www.un.org/en/ga/search/view_doc.asp?symbol=S/RES/2157(2014). undocs.org is therefore used internally in the UN, and can be expected to work for ages. <big><b>Report of 2 March 2017</b></big><br> One day has passed since the commencing of operations. I'm beginning to find some faulty undocs.org links. Giving the site administrators a heads up. Skipping over them for the time being. <big><b>Report of 6 March 2017</b></big><br> Just as I've come across a large number of missing documents at undocs.org, ranging from resolution 767–820, the administrators fix pretty much all faulty links. <big><big><b>Mission Complete, 14 March 2017</b></big></big> All the links are done now. There are still two faulty links at the undocs.org site, namely http://undocs.org/S/RES/367(1975) and http://undocs.org/S/RES/370(1975). They work if you remove the year, but I decided not to use them lest they stop working. </small> </div>
