Project Description

Summary

This data collection contains computer-coded content analyses of United Nations General Assembly resolutions in the period 1946-1968. The data were collected for the purpose of systematic study of the law-making capacities of the resolutions. For each resolution, coded information is provided for committee source, operative words, references (e.g., geographic entities and coordinates, subsidiary organizational units), and citations (e.g., United Nations Charter, the Statute and decisions of the International Court of Justice, the General Assembly Rules of Procedure, previous resolutions of the General Assembly and various Councils). Each resolution is further coded under other subject matters and functional categories, such as creation of committees, conciliation of a dispute, and interpretation of the United Nations Charter.
