Let Renouf help you navigate the new world of international documents
Established in 1888, Renouf evolved into North America's leading distributor of governmental and international reports and documents. We have all experienced the rapid transition from print to online reports over the past few years and now the library community and the Inter Governmental Organizations are mostly phasing out the production and use of print publications.

Renouf has been servicing our partner's online products since their inception and is working with libraries and consortia throughout North America. We have found that the organizations have been flexible in their pricing and we are quite confident that we will be able to provide you with a price that meets with your budget.
United Nations launches their NEW UN iLibrary platform
We are pleased to announce that the United Nations selected Renouf as the primary North American distributor of their UN iLibrary and we would be delighted to introduce you what the new UN iLibrary platform has to offer. The UN has reduced the subscription price and is now providing United Nations Depository Libraries a 20% discount.
Why your library should have an international documents collection?
The current pandemic only highlights how the world is inter-connected. COVID 19 and its variants will not be irradicated until the majority of the world's population has been vaccinated.

Climate change is bringing on an ever-increasing number of severe weather events and it can only be reversed, if countries around the world all do their part.

The disruption in the trade and delivery of goods between countries has resulted in shortages that has upset manufacturing timelines worldwide.

There is no one country, no matter how big and powerful, that can resolve the many issues facing our world, on its own. Every country is unique in its own way and the only way we can overcome our differences is to take the time to learn more about each other. The International Documents section is the place that students and researchers can go and look for the common ground that ties the world together.

You will still find a selection of IGO print publications in our online bookstore and we will continue to do our best to fulfill your orders during these difficult and changing times.

The WTO Dispute Settlement System: How, Why and Where?

This incisive book provides a comprehensive overview of the WTO dispute settlement practice from 1995 up until the present day, illustrating the need for it to be resurrected from its current state of crisis. By inquiring into the current set-up of WTO adjudication system, the book explores to what extent its original intent has been followed in practice. Its empirical analysis of decades of data regarding the number, duration, and subject matter of dispute adjudications, as well as the frequency of implemented or non-implemented settlements, illuminates the effectiveness of the system and highlights the issues that have led to the WTO's present predicament. Petros C. Mavroidis employs these findings to build a case for the urgent reform of the WTO dispute settlement system by virtue of its accomplishments. He then concludes with a proposal for a reinvigorated 'Dispute Settlement Understanding 2.0'. more...

Handbook on Water Allocation in a Transboundary Context

At its eight session, the Meeting of the Parties to the Convention on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes (Water Convention) decided to develop a handbook based on existing practices covering the key aspects of equitable and sustainable allocation of water in the transboundary context, addressing both surface waters and groundwaters, and also environmental flows (programme area 3, activity 3.3). Work began in 2019 on developing the Transboundary Water Allocation Handbook, which will provide a global review of water allocation arrangements in transboundary basins. Illustrative case studies from around the world will highlight diverse transboundary allocation practices, challenges and lessons learned. The development of the Handbook is being supported by an Expert Group to provide guidance and oversight on the structure, substantive content and illustrative case studies. more...
