The dataset generation failed because of a cast error
Error code:   DatasetGenerationCastError
Exception:    DatasetGenerationCastError
Message:      An error occurred while generating the dataset

All the data files must have the same columns, but at some point there are 5 new columns ({'m49_countrycode', 'vote_nonvote', 'vote_date', 'm49_region_intermediate', 'veto_anomaly'}) and 5 missing columns ({'unified_id', 'status', 'pdf_url_en', 'is_adopted', 'meeting_record_url'}).

This happened while the csv dataset builder was generating data using

3 (1946). Resolution of 4 April 1946 The Security Council, Taking note of the statements by the Iranian representative that the Iranian appeal to the Council arises from the presence of USSR troops in Iran and their continued presence there beyond the date stipulated for their withdrawal in the Tri-partite Treaty of 29 January 1942, 1 Taking note of the replies dated 3 April of the Government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics 2 and the Iranian Government 3 pursuant to the request of the Secretary-General for information as to the state of the negotiations between the two Governments and as to whether the withdrawal of USSR troops from Iran is conditional upon agreement on other subjects, And in particular taking note of and relying upon the assurances of the USSR Government that the withdrawal of USSR troops from Iran has already commenced; that it is the intention of the USSR Government to proceed with the withdrawal of its troops as rapidly as possible; that the USSR Government expects the withdrawal of all USSR troops from the whole of Iran to be completed within five or six weeks; and that the proposals under negotiation between the Iranian Government and the USSR Government “are not connected with the withdrawal of USSR troops”, Being solicitous to avoid any possibility of the presence of USSR troops in Iran being used to influence the course of the negotiations between the Governments of Iran and the USSR, Recognizing that the withdrawal of all USSR troops from the whole of Iran cannot be completed in a substantially shorter period of time than that within which the USSR Government has declared it to be its intention to complete such withdrawal, Resolves that the Council defer further proceedings on the Iranian appeal until 6 May, at which time the USSR Government and the Iranian Government are requested to report to the Council whether the withdrawal of all USSR troops from the whole of Iran has been completed and at which time the Council shall consider what, if any, further proceedings on the Iranian appeal are required, Provided, however, that if in the meantime either the USSR Government or the Iranian Government or any member of the Security Council reports to the Secretary-General any developments which may retard or threaten to retard the prompt withdrawal of USSR troops from Iran, in accordance with the assurances of the USSR to the Council, the Secretary-General shall immediately call to the attention of the Council such reports, which shall be considered as the first item on the agenda. Adopted at the 30th meeting by 9 votes (Australia, present and not voting; Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, absent). 1 Official Records of the Security Council, First Year, First Series, Supplement No. 1. annex 2B, pp. 43-46. 2 Ibid., First Year, First Series, No. 2, 29th meeting, p. 84 (document S/24). 3 Ibid., pp. 85-86 (document S/25).

9 (1946). Resolution of 15 October 1946 The Security Council, In virtue of the powers conferred upon it by Article 35, paragraph 2, of the Statute of the International Court of Justice, and subject to the provisions of that Article, Resolves that: 1. The International Court of Justice shall be open to a State which is not a party to the Statute of the International Court of Justice, upon the following condition, namely, that such State shall previously have deposited with the Registrar of the Court a declaration by which it accepts the jurisdiction of the Court, in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations and with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Statute and Rules of the Court, and undertakes to comply in good faith with the decision or decisions of the Court and to accept all the obligations of a Member of the United Nations under Article 94 of the Charter ; 2. Such declaration may be either particular or general. A particular declaration is one accepting the jurisdiction of the Court in respect only of a particular dispute or disputes which have already arisen. A general declaration is one accepting the jurisdiction generally in respect of all disputes or of a particular class or classes of disputes which have already arisen or which may arise in the future. A State, in making such a general declaration, may, in accordance with Article 36, paragraph 2, of the Statute, recognize as compulsory, ipso facto and without special agreement, the jurisdiction of the Court, provided, however, that such acceptance may not, without explicit agreement, be relied upon vis-a-vis States parties to the Statute which have made the declaration in conformity with Article 36, paragraph 2, of the Statute of the International Court of Justice; 3. The original declarations made under the terms of this resolution shall be kept in the custody of the Registrar of the Court, in accordance with the practice of the Court. Certified true copies thereof shall be transmitted, in accordance with the practice of the Court, to all States parties to the Statute of the International Court of Justice, and to such other States as shall have deposited a declaration under the terms of this resolution, and to the Secretary-General of the United Nations; 4. The Security Council reserves the right to rescind or amend this resolution by a resolution which shall be communicated to the Court, and on the receipt of such communication and to the extent determined by the new resolution, existing declarations shall cease to be effective except in regard to disputes which are already before the Court; 5. All questions as to the validity or the effect of a declaration made under the terms of this resolution shall be decided by the Court. Adopted unanimously at the 76th meeting.

36 (1947). Resolution of 1 November 1947 (S/597] The Security Council, Having received and taken note of the report of the Consular Commission dated 14 October 1947, 9 indicating that the Council’s resolution 27 (1947) of 1 August 1947 relating to the cessation of hostilities has not been fully effective, Having taken note that, according to the report, no attempt was made by either side to come to an agreement with the other about the means of giving effect to that resolution, 1. Calls upon the parties concerned forthwith to consult with each other, either directly or through the Committee of Good Offices, as to the means to be employed in order to give effect to the cease-fire resolution, and, pending agreement, to cease any activities or incitement to activities which contravene that resolution, and to take appropriate measures for safeguarding life and property ; 2. Requests the Committee of Good Offices to assist the parties in reaching agreement on an arrangement which will ensure the observance of the cease-fire resolution ; 3. Requests the Consular Commission, together with its military assistants, to make its services available to the Committee of Good Offices ; 4. Advises the parties concerned, the Committee of Good Offices and the Consular Commission that its resolution 27 (1947) of 1 August 1947 should be interpreted as meaning that the use of the armed forces of either party by hostile action to extend its control over territory not occupied by it on 4 August 1947 is inconsistent with Council resolution 27 (1947) ; 5. Invites the parties, should it appear that some withdrawals of armed forces are necessary, to conclude between them as soon as possible the agreements referred to in its resolution 30 (1947) of 25 August 1947, Adopted at the 219th meeting by 7 votes to 1 (Poland), with 3 abstentions (Colombia, Syria, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics). 9 See Official Records of the Security Council, Year, Special Supplement No. 4.

The Government of Pakistan should undertake to use its best endeavours : (a) To secure the withdrawal from the State of Jammu and Kashmir of tribesmen and Pakistani nationals not normally resident therein who have entered the State for the purpose of fighting, and to prevent any intrusion into the State of such elements and any furnishing of material aid to those fighting in the State ; (b) To make known to all concerned that the measures indicated in this and the following paragraphs provide full freedom to all subjects of the State, regardless of creed, caste, or party, to express their views and to vote on the question of the accession of the State, and that therefore they should co-operate in the maintenance of peace and order. 2. The Government of India should : (a) When it is established to the satisfaction of the Commission set up in accordance with the Council’s resolution 39 (1948) that the tribesmen are withdrawing and that arrangements for the cessation of the fighting have become effective, put into operation in consultation with the Commission a plan for withdrawing their own forces from Jammu and Kashmir and reducing them progressively to the minimum strength required for the support of the civil power in the maintenance of law and order ; (b) Make known that the withdrawal is taking place in stages and announce the completion of each stage ; (c) When the Indian forces have been reduced to the minimum strength mentioned in (a) above, arrange in consultation with the Commission for the stationing of the remaining forces to be carried out in accordance with the following principles : (i) That the presence of troops should not afford any intimidation or appearance of intimidation to the inhabitants of the State ; (ii) That as small a number as possible should be retained in forward areas ; (iii) That any reserve of troops which may be included in the total strength should be located within their present base area. 3. The Government of India should agree that until such time as the Plebiscite Administration referred to below finds it necessary to exercise the powers of direction and supervision over the State forces and police provided for in paragraph 8, they will be held in areas to be agreed upon with the Plebiscite Administrator. 4. After the plan referred to in paragraph 2 (a) above has been put into operation, personnel recruited locally in each district should so far as possible be utilized for the re-establishment and maintenance of law and order with due regard to protection of minorities, subject to such additional requirements as may be specified by the Plebiscite Administration referred to in paragraph 7. 5. If these local forces should be found to be inadequate, the Commission, subject to the agreement of both the Government of India and the Government of Pakistan, should arrange for the use of such forces of either Dominion as it deems effective for the purpose of pacification. B. Plebiscite 6. The Government of India should undertake to ensure that the Government of the State invite the major political groups to designate responsible representatives to share equitably and fully in the conduct of the administration at the ministerial level while the plebiscite is being prepared and carried out. 7. The Government of India should undertake that there will be established in Jammu and Kashmir a Plebiscite Administration to hold a plebiscite as soon as possible on the question of the accession of the State to India or Pakistan. 8. The Government of India should undertake that there will be delegated by the State to the Plebiscite Administration such powers as the latter considers necessary for holding a fair and impartial plebiscite including, for that purpose only, the direction and supervision of the State forces and police. 9. The Government of India should, at the request of the Plebiscite Administration, make available from the Indian forces such assistance as the Plebiscite Administration may require for the performance of its functions. 10. (a) The Government of India should agree that a nominee of the Secretary-General of the United Nations will be appointed to be the Plebiscite Administrator. (b) The Plebiscite Administrator, acting as an officer of the State of Jammu and Kashmir, should have authority to nominate his assistants and other subordinates and to draft regulations governing the plebiscite. Such nominees should be formally appointed and such draft regulations should be formally promulgated by the State of Jammu and Kashmir. (c) The Government of India should undertake that the Government of Jammu and Kashmir will appoint fully qualified persons nominated by the Plebiscite Administrator to act as special magistrates within the State judicial system to hear cases which in the opinion of the Plebiscite Administrator have a serious bearing on the preparation for and the conduct of a free and impartial plebiscite. (d) The terms of service of the Administrator should form the subject of a separate negotiation between the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the Government of India. The Administrator should fix the terms of service for his assistants and subordinates. (e) The Administrator should have the right to communicate directly with the Government of the State and with the Commission of the Security Council and, through the Commission, with the Security Council, with the Governments of India and Pakistan and with their representatives with the Commission. It would be his duty to bring to the notice of any or all of the foregoing (as he in his discretion may decide) any circumstances arising which may tend, in his opinion, to interfere with the freedom of the plebiscite. 11. The Government of India should undertake to prevent, and to give full support to the Administrator and his staff in preventing, any threat, coercion or intimidation, bribery or other undue influence on the voters in the plebiscite, and the Government of India should publicly announce and should cause the Government of the State to announce this undertaking as an international obligation binding on all public authorities and officials in Jammu and Kashmir. 12. The Government of India should themselves and through the Government of the State declare and make known that all subjects of the State of Jammu and Kashmir, regardless of creed, caste or party, will be safe and free in expressing their views and in voting on the question of the accession of the State and that there will be freedom of the press, speech and assembly and freedom of travel in the State, including freedom of lawful entry and exit. 13. The Government of India should use and should ensure that the Government of the State also use their best endeavours to effect the withdrawal from the State of all Indian nationals other than those who are normally resident therein or who on or since 15 August 1947 have entered it for a lawful purpose. 14. The Government of India should ensure that the Government of the State releases all political prisoners and take all possible steps so that: (a) All citizens of the State who have left it on account of disturbances are invited, and are free, to return to their homes and to exercise their rights as such citizens ; (b) There is no victimization ; (c) Minorities in all parts of the State are accorded adequate protection. 15. The Commission of the Security Council should at the end of the plebiscite certify to the Council whether the plebiscite has or has not been really free and impartial. C. General provisions 16. The Governments of India and Pakistan should each be invited to nominate a representative to be attached to the Commission for such assistance as it may require in the performance of its task. 17. The Commission should establish in Jammu and Kashmir such observers as it may require of any of the proceedings in pursuance of the measures indicated in the foregoing paragraphs. 18. The Security Council Commission should carry out the tasks assigned to it herein. Adopted at the 286th meeting 6 6 The draft resolution was voted on paragraph by paragraph.

UN Security Council Complete Dataset (UNSC-Complete)

🌍 The Most Comprehensive UN Security Council Dataset Available

Dataset Summary

UNSC-Complete is the first dataset to combine ALL UN Security Council activity:

  • Text growth: 170 words (1946) → 3,600+ words (2011)

5. Legal Framework Detection

  • Chapter VII: 32.9% of adopted (enforcement)
  • Threat hierarchy: none → threat → breach → aggression
  • Human rights: Growing from rare to 29.1%

6. Geographic Classification

  • Multi-label: Africa (33.6%), Asia (22.2%), Europe (6.2%)
  • Challenge: Multiple regions per resolution
  • Vetoed drafts: Heavy Middle East focus

7. Citation Network Analysis

  • Task: Predict citation links
  • Data: 94.5% of adopted resolutions cite others
  • Application: Understanding precedent and evolution

📥 Usage

Loading the Dataset 

from datasets import load_dataset

# Load the unified dataset
dataset = load_dataset("your-username/unsc-complete")

# Separate adopted and vetoed
adopted = dataset.filter(lambda x: x['is_adopted'])
vetoed = dataset.filter(lambda x: not x['is_adopted'])

Example: Analyzing Veto Patterns 

import pandas as pd

# Load the unified dataset
df = pd.read_json("unsc_unified_dataset.jsonl", lines=True)

# Analyze veto patterns over time
vetoed = df[df['status'] == 'vetoed']

# P5 veto counts
for member in ['United States', 'Russia/USSR', 'China', 'United Kingdom', 'France']:
    count = vetoed['vetoed_by'].apply(lambda x: member in x if x else False).sum()
    print(f"{member}: {count} vetoes")

# Veto rate by decade
veto_rate = df.groupby('decade').agg({
    'is_adopted': lambda x: (1 - x.mean()) * 100
}).round(1)
print(f"Veto rate by decade:\n{veto_rate}")

Example: Predicting Passage 

from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier
from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import TfidfVectorizer

# Prepare features
X_text = df['title'].fillna('') + ' ' + df['agenda_information'].fillna('')
y = df['is_adopted'].astype(int)

# Create features
vectorizer = TfidfVectorizer(max_features=1000)
X = vectorizer.fit_transform(X_text)

# Train model
model = RandomForestClassifier(class_weight='balanced')
model.fit(X, y)

# Feature importance shows what topics face vetoes
important_features = vectorizer.get_feature_names_out()[model.feature_importances_.argsort()[-20:]]
print(f"Topics associated with vetoes: {important_features}")

🎯 Key Insights from the Data

  1. Veto Power Shapes Everything: 271 drafts never became resolutions due to P5 vetoes
  2. Cold War Legacy: 73.8% of all vetoes occurred during Cold War (1946-1989)
  3. Middle East Dominance: Most vetoed topic post-Cold War
  4. Text Explosion: Resolutions grew from ~170 to ~3,600 words, reflecting complexity
  5. Consensus Building: 81.4% of adopted resolutions are unanimous - but this hides the vetoed 9.1%

🔬 Research Applications

  • International Relations: Quantify great power politics
  • Conflict Studies: What conflicts get UN attention vs ignored?
  • Legal NLP: Train models on diplomatic/legal language
  • Temporal Analysis: 79 years of language evolution
  • Network Analysis: Citation networks reveal precedent patterns
  • Fairness Studies: Geographic and political biases in UN action

💡 What Makes This Dataset Unique

This is the FIRST dataset to show both sides of Security Council action:

  • ✅ What passes (adopted resolutions)
  • ❌ What fails (vetoed drafts)

Previous datasets only showed adopted resolutions, missing the critical story of power politics revealed by vetoes. With this complete picture, researchers can finally study:

  • True P5 disagreement rates
  • Topics that trigger vetoes
  • Evolution of international consensus
  • The "selection bias" in adopted resolutions
