On the occasion of the participation of Greece in the UN Security Council for the second time in its history, the completion of 60 years since the foundation of the Organisation, as well as the realisation of world congress of editors of diplomatic documents in Paris in October 2005 whose main subject was "Diplomatic documents with regard to the UN", our Service undertook the initiative to prepare its first electronic publication of documents with archival material that concern the participation of our country in the San Francisco Conference (1945) and its first election in the Security Council (1952-1953).

This electronic publication (in DVD) includes the digital depiction of 384 documents (in form "pdf"), from which the 256 emanate from the period of the San Francisco Conference and the rest 128 from the period 1950-1953.

The documents from the San Francisco Conference are presented through two different catalogues. The first one is chronological and it includes all 256 documents that were selected, in absolute chronological order. The second one constitutes an attempt of reconstitution into a special archival unit of the outgoing documents of the Delegation, organised by Protocol Number, and it includes the 144 documents that were located (they are included in the 256 documents of the first catalogue) from a total of roughly 300 that the Greek Delegation dispatched.

The documents of the period 1952-1953 have been placed in the corresponding list in absolute chronological order and they have been selected in order to present the main questions that concerned the Greek Delegation in the Security Council during its participation in this body as a non-permanent member.
