New Pre-Print
We introduce the "Corpus of Resolutions: UN Security Council (CR-UNSC)", a novel international legal-political dataset containing texts and metadata for all resolutions of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) from resolution 1 (1946) through resolution 2722 (2024), as published by the UN Digital Library (UNDL).

The dataset provides full resolution texts in all six official UN languages, draft texts and full meeting records in English, as well as dozens of metadata variables, for a grand total of 82 variables in structured tabular CSV format, accompanied by extensive narrative documentation. In addition to the main tabular dataset the CR-UNSC is accompanied by specialized variants for network analysis and bibliography management.
The computational workflow is engineered as a fully automated end-to-end extract-transform-load (ETL) data pipeline with citation analysis and NLP components, unit tests and extensive reporting. The declarative workflow is fault-tolerant, resumable and stores intermediate results in over one hundred individual checkpoints. The code is published open source under the GNU General Public License Version 3 (GPLv3).
We intend to update the corpus at least once per year.
The most recent version of the CR-UNSC corpus will always be available open access via Zenodo through its Concept DOI located at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7319783
