What Are We Doing?

This project is mainly split into four parts:

  • Crawler: Scrape data from the UN Treaties web site

  • Data Preparation: Organize the data into a nice-to-work-with CSV or similar

  • Visualization: Create visualizations that illustrate the data

  • Impact: Use the data and visualizations to incentivize more countries to ratify treaties

See the original project idea for the initial discussion.

Goal

Our goals are:

  • to make information about UN Treaties more accessible to people,
  • to incentivize people in power to sign/follow up on treaties.

Existing solutions/articles discussing the ratification of treaties
