Access Requests Records under 20 years old which are not security classified may occasionally be accessed on a case-by-case basis, subject to the written consent of the originating office.
All archives of the UN War Crimes Commission (UNWCC) are available
on application to any person researching the history of the
commission or related problems in international law or associated
fields. To apply please consult the application
package.
Declassification Requests Declassification opens a classified record for research and reproduction. Records over 20 years old are generally open for public research, unless the classification level "Strictly Confidential" (or related) strictly applies.
Requests for both access and declassification have to be made
in writing to the UN Archives at arms@un.org.
As the process requires the consent of Secretariat departments,
allow a period of time for a decision as to whether these records
will be made available for access or declassified
