Any articles that appear in the UN footer should probably have the project notice added to their talk pages. After that, perhaps some of the remaining articles that appear on the UN Portal's "What links here" page should also get it.
Add stub tags to any short UN related articles that need them.

One, Rogue Monkey is the same person as Pahoran513. I've changed my name to one I like more (and isn't as religiously oriented). I'm the same person, so feel free to contact me (I have a bit of experience where the UN is concerned). Cheers.

Official documents

For citing official documents (resolutions, reports, verbatim transcripts) generated by the General Assembly or Security Council published under the UN masthead marked with a United Nations Document Code, use {{UN_document}} rather than direct URL links. Most documents on-line at the UN website are protected from deep linking by randomized URLs and session cookies, so your link will not work for anyone else.

{{UN_document}} citations are detailed enough to find on paper should you be fortunate to have access to a depository library. Meanwhile, many document codes can access documents through an independent website www.undemocracy.com which de-PDF-izes some of the meetings for web-friendliness. It is also able to serve individual PDF pages because some files are gigantic.
