United Nations General Assembly Resolutions: Voting Data and Issue Categories

The dataset contains all resolutions of the United Nations between session 49 (1995/1996) and 75 (2020/2021) until 8th of August 2021, as well as newly developed issue categories that allow for in-depth analysis of voting patterns in the United Nations General Assembly. <br> The issue categories are based on the subjects used by the UN. Metadata for each resolution, such as information on the authorship, as well as corresponding draft resolutions were collected through webscraping and subsequently cleaned from the UN Digital Library website.
