This article introduces a novel corpus containing all resolutions adopted by the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) from 1946 to 2019, the network of citations between them, and an online tool for exploring them. Resolutions adopted by the organization provide a valuable record of the evolution of multilateralism and political ideas on the global stage. Given that resolutions typically cite past ones, the resulting network of references offers a wealth of information on the UNGA’s most relevant themes over time. This article applies network analysis to the corpus of approximately 18,000 resolutions and 77,000 citations, aiming to answer questions such as: What are the most cited resolutions of all? Are there thematic clusters? And can we delineate historic patterns based on themes prioritized? Our findings show that leading resolutions, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, stemmed from the early years of the UNGA and created cores around which thematic clusters emerged. We conclude by listing highly cited resolutions and prominent clusters, while also conducting a descriptive exploration of how some of the largest clusters formed. The dominant clusters addressed human rights, development, decolonization and peace and security, and by monitoring their evolution we offer a new, data-intensive account of the interaction between these topics since 1946.

各国参考资料：介绍 1946 年以来联合国大会决议文集及其引用网络


本文介绍了一个新颖的语料库，其中包含 1946 年至 2019 年联合国大会 (UNGA) 通过的所有决议、它们之间的引用网络以及用于探索它们的在线工具。该组织通过的决议为全球舞台上多边主义和政治理念的演变提供了宝贵的记录。鉴于决议通常引用过去的决议，由此产生的参考网络提供了有关联合国大会随着时间的推移最相关的主题的大量信息。本文对大约 18,000 个决议和 77,000 个引用的语料库进行了网络分析，旨在回答以下问题：所有决议中被引用最多的决议是什么？有主题集群吗？我们能否根据优先主题来描绘历史模式？我们的研究结果表明，《世界人权宣言》等主要决议源于联大成立初期，并创建了核心，围绕这些核心出现了专题组。最后，我们列出了被高度引用的决议和突出的集群，同时还对一些最大的集群的形成方式进行了描述性探索。主要类别涉及人权、发展、非殖民化以及和平与安全，通过监测它们的演变，我们对 1946 年以来这些主题之间的相互作用提供了一个新的、数据密集型的描述。
