description This paper introduces the Palestine/Israel United Nations Resolution Corpus (PIURC), a data set comprising UN General Assembly and Security Council resolutions related to the Palestine/Israel conflict. The corpus provides a valuable resource for analysing the role of the UN in shaping the discourse around this conflict. The paper details the data selection process, limitations, and potential extensions of the corpus. It demonstrates how standard corpus linguistic and text analysis methods, including the analysis of word frequency and text dispersion, can reveal key patterns such as lexical frequencies and thematic variations, offering insights into the evolving discourse on human rights and geopolitical issues. The PIURC enables future interdisciplinary research, contributing to a deeper understanding of the United Nations' role in the Palestine/Israel conflict and its broader implications. Potential extensions to the corpus include incorporating resolutions from Special and Emergency Sessions of the General Assembly, as well as texts in languages other than English. These additions would enhance the data set's comprehensiveness, further supporting nuanced analyses of the UN's discourse and decision-making processes in this and other geopolitical contexts.
