Abstract: |
This dataset contains detailed information on the official public meetings of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) covering the period from 1946 to 2024. The dataset consists of two major parts: meeting records and speech records. The former compiles relevant pieces of information (date, agenda items, the monthly president's name and country, policy outputs, etc.) on each of the Council meetings (more than 9,800 in total) held consecutively during this period. The latter comprises the transcripts of more than 160,000 public statements delivered by delegates and officials representing various countries and organizations at these meetings, along with related details on each statement (the speaker's name and affiliation, procedural or policy statement, etc.). The speech transcripts were converted to machine-readable format (plain text). The dataset is under constant update and expansion. |
