The United Nations Official Document System has just been launched
online at
  http://documents.un.org/
( http://www.resourceshelf.com/summarizes the main features and other UN
resources)

It consists of 800,000 searchable parallel documents in Arabic, Chinese,
English, French, Russian and Spanish, primarily in PDF and / or MS Word
format, and is growing at a rate of 100k documents a year.  Searches are
limited to 1000 hits.  While the register and domain are limited, it
seems to be a useful resource for linguists and translators.
