“…For example, when accepting investigation petitions against France for its human rights violations in the Algerian War, the United Nations refused to publicize the content (Duranti, 2020). Moreover, when emerging as a newly independent state, India had to 'prove itself' to be accepted into the United Nations human rights discourse system (R. Khan, 2020). These descriptions show the different and initially incompatible rationality employed by the United Nations is not welcome to accommodate the Third World.…”

July of 2017 is the last time the United Nations special rapporteur was allowed into Myanmar to report on the Rohingya crisis. By contrast, the Foreign Minister of Indonesia was well-received to talk about the same problem in 2017. This article sees the problem as a legitimacy crisis: Myanmar did not see the United Nations intervention framework to report on the Rohingya crisis as legitimate due to the perceived lack of the formerâ€™s agency in that framework. This article uses the concept of collective agency to further understand Myanmarâ€™s reception of the United Nations regarding the Rohingya crisis. Myanmarâ€™s rationality â€“ way of seeing things â€“ is seen to be marginalised and even deleted by the United Nationsâ€™ internationalist/cosmopolitan rationality through labels such as â€˜draconianâ€™ and â€˜stagnantâ€™ Indonesiaâ€™s approach is more sensitive to Myanmarâ€™s agency. This article concludes that the exclusionist practice by the United Nations makes the framework lose its support-worthiness.

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.
