United Nations General Assembly Decision 33/426 (1978)
[Reproduced from Resolutions and Decisions Adopted by the General Assembly during its 33rd Session (1978-1979): A/33/45 (GAOR, 33rd Session, Suppl. No. 45)]
33/426. Establishment of an agency or a department of the United Nations for undertaking, co-ordinating and disseminating the results of research into unidentified flying objects and related phenomena At its 87th plenary meeting, on 18 December 1978, the General Assembly, on the recommendation of the Special Political Committee adopted the following text as representing the consensus of the members of the Assembly:
"1. The General Assembly has taken note of the statements made, and draft resolutions submitted, by Grenada at the thirty-second and thirty-third sessions of the General Assembly regarding unidentified flying objects and related phenomena.
"2. the General Assembly invites interested Member States to take appropriate steps to coordinate on a national level scientific research and investigation into extraterrestrial life, including unidentified flying objects, and to inform the Secretary-General of the observations, research and evaluation of such activities.
"3. The General Assembly requests the Secretary-general to transmit the statements of the delegation of Grenada and the relevant documentation to the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, so that it may consider them at its session in 1979.
"4. The Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space will permit Grenada, upon its request, to present its views to the Committee at its session in 1979. the committee's deliberation will be included in its report which will be considered by the General Assembly at its thirty-fourth session."
It's actually a decision, not a resolution. Anyway, the decision is also referred to in the indices of the document.

The resolution is in the Supplement No. 45. The link to it is located at the top of the page which currently lists the resolutions. See page 242 in PDF:

Resolutions of the UN could be easily find in the UN website, but the text above is a "decision", not a "resolution". "Decisions" are not available in electronic form, only in printed form. In the UN system (in NY), "Decisions" have a lower standing that "Resolutions", and generally are used to state administrative arrangements.

The UN General Assembly only passed 206 resolutions in 1978. There is no resolution 426. and someone said it was 33/45 but that deals with decolonization in Africa. This is a hoax.

I was checking on the document quoted resolution 33/426 does not appear (censorship?). Page 236 of the document, we pass the resolution of 33/404 with resolution 33/427 (English language version)...

I noteced later that you have to go through the UN own webpage to be able to see the document. I guess because of security: www.un.org -> press "welcome" -> in the box named "Resources and Services" click "Dokuments" -> then in the search box enter the dokument reference number, which is "A/33/45". -> Then you will come to a page where you chose your language, in my case click "English". Then it shows up in pdf-format... Good reading! Again the topic 33/426 is located on page 237 of the document and perhaps also other places - the system of the dokument is a little confusing at first... but see in the back of the document for the index. God bless

You can see for yourselves.
Page 243 if you use pdf's own pagenumber counter and page 237 if you look after the pagenumber that is printed on the UN-pagers pages...
