## Read before interpreting
- Amendments are kept apart from resolutions; an abstention is not a vote against; "adopted without a vote" is not unanimity; the General Assembly is not added to CHR/HRC.
- The OHCHR catalogue omits two rejected draft texts and 21 amendments in 2020-2024; details in the repository README (Data-quality notes) and the dashboard's Methodology.
