# UN Security Council Complete Dataset (UNSC-Complete)
|
| 30 |
+
|
| 31 |
+
## π The Most Comprehensive UN Security Council Dataset Available
|
| 32 |
+
|
| 33 |
+
### Dataset Summary
|
| 34 |
+
|
| 35 |
+
**UNSC-Complete** is the first dataset to combine **ALL** UN Security Council activity:
|
| 36 |
+
- β
**2,722 adopted resolutions** (1946-2024) with full texts and voting records
|
| 37 |
+
- β **271 vetoed draft resolutions** (1946-2025) that were blocked by P5 members
|
| 38 |
+
- π **2,993 total records** showing what passes AND what fails at the UN's most powerful body
|
| 39 |
+
|
| 40 |
+
This unified dataset reveals the complete picture of Security Council decision-making, including the **90.9% passage rate** and the critical 9.1% of drafts that never see the light of day due to vetoes.
|
| 41 |
+
|
| 42 |
+
### π― Why This Dataset Matters
|
| 43 |
+
|
| 44 |
+
Previous datasets only included adopted resolutions, missing the crucial story of what gets blocked. This dataset shows:
|
| 45 |
+
- **271 vetoed drafts** - the "dark matter" of international diplomacy
|
| 46 |
+
- **Russia/USSR: 161 vetoes**, **USA: 95 vetoes**, showing geopolitical fault lines
|
| 47 |
+
- **Cold War vs Post-Cold War dynamics**: 200 vetoes (1946-89) vs 71 vetoes (1990-2025)
|
| 48 |
+
- **Complete voting records**: See exactly how each country voted on every resolution
|
| 49 |
+
|
| 50 |
+

## π₯ Usage
|
| 169 |
+
|
| 170 |
+
### Loading the Dataset
|
| 171 |
+
|
| 172 |
+
```python
|
| 173 |
+
from datasets import load_dataset
|
| 174 |
+
|
| 175 |
+
# Load the unified dataset
|
| 176 |
+
dataset = load_dataset("your-username/unsc-complete")
|
| 177 |
+
|
| 178 |
+
# Separate adopted and vetoed
|
| 179 |
+
adopted = dataset.filter(lambda x: x['is_adopted'])
|
| 180 |
+
vetoed = dataset.filter(lambda x: not x['is_adopted'])
|
| 181 |
+
```
|
| 182 |
+
|
| 183 |
+
### Example: Analyzing Veto Patterns
|
| 184 |
+
|
| 185 |
+
```python
|
| 186 |
+
import pandas as pd
|
| 187 |
+
|
| 188 |
+
# Load the unified dataset
|
| 189 |
+
df = pd.read_json("unsc_unified_dataset.jsonl", lines=True)
|
| 190 |
+
|
| 191 |
+
# Analyze veto patterns over time
|
| 192 |
+
vetoed = df[df['status'] == 'vetoed']
|
| 193 |
+
|
| 194 |
+
# P5 veto counts
|
| 195 |
+
for member in ['United States', 'Russia/USSR', 'China', 'United Kingdom', 'France']:
|
| 196 |
+
count = vetoed['vetoed_by'].apply(lambda x: member in x if x else False).sum()
|
| 197 |
+
print(f"{member}: {count} vetoes")
|
| 198 |
+
|
| 199 |
+
# Veto rate by decade
|
| 200 |
+
veto_rate = df.groupby('decade').agg({
|
| 201 |
+
'is_adopted': lambda x: (1 - x.mean()) * 100
|
| 202 |
+
}).round(1)
|
| 203 |
+
print(f"Veto rate by decade:\n{veto_rate}")
|
| 204 |
+
```
|
| 205 |
+
|
| 206 |
+
### Example: Predicting Passage
|
| 207 |
+
|
| 208 |
+
```python
|
| 209 |
+
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier
|
| 210 |
+
from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import TfidfVectorizer
|
| 211 |
+
|
| 212 |
+
# Prepare features
|
| 213 |
+
X_text = df['title'].fillna('') + ' ' + df['agenda_information'].fillna('')
|
| 214 |
+
y = df['is_adopted'].astype(int)
|
| 215 |
+
|
| 216 |
+
# Create features
|
| 217 |
+
vectorizer = TfidfVectorizer(max_features=1000)
|
| 218 |
+
X = vectorizer.fit_transform(X_text)
|
| 219 |
+
|
| 220 |
+
# Train model
|
| 221 |
+
model = RandomForestClassifier(class_weight='balanced')
|
| 222 |
+
model.fit(X, y)
|
| 223 |
+
|
| 224 |
+
# Feature importance shows what topics face vetoes
|
| 225 |
+
important_features = vectorizer.get_feature_names_out()[model.feature_importances_.argsort()[-20:]]
|
| 226 |
+
print(f"Topics associated with vetoes: {important_features}")
|
| 227 |

## π― Key Insights from the Data
|
| 259 |
+
|
| 260 |
+
1. **Veto Power Shapes Everything**: 271 drafts never became resolutions due to P5 vetoes
|
| 261 |
+
2. **Cold War Legacy**: 73.8% of all vetoes occurred during Cold War (1946-1989)
|
| 262 |
+
3. **Middle East Dominance**: Most vetoed topic post-Cold War
|
| 263 |
+
4. **Text Explosion**: Resolutions grew from ~170 to ~3,600 words, reflecting complexity
|
| 264 |
+
5. **Consensus Building**: 81.4% of adopted resolutions are unanimous - but this hides the vetoed 9.1%
|
| 265 |
+
|
| 266 |
+
## π¬ Research Applications
|
| 267 |
+
|
| 268 |

|
| 269 |
+
- **Conflict Studies**: What conflicts get UN attention vs ignored?

## π‘ What Makes This Dataset Unique
|
| 276 |
+
|
| 277 |
+
This is the **FIRST** dataset to show both sides of Security Council action:
|
| 278 |
+
- β
What passes (adopted resolutions)
|
| 279 |
+
- β What fails (vetoed drafts)
|
| 280 |
+
|
| 281 |
+
Previous datasets only showed adopted resolutions, missing the critical story of power politics revealed by vetoes. With this complete picture, researchers can finally study:
|
| 282 |
+
- True P5 disagreement rates
|
| 283 |
+
- Topics that trigger vetoes
|
| 284 |
+
- Evolution of international consensus
|
| 285 |
+
- The "selection bias" in adopted resolutions
