Adding a year column
The next step of data cleaning is manipulating your variables (columns) to make them more informative.
In this case, you have a session
column that is hard to interpret intuitively. But since the UN started voting in 1946, and holds one session per year, you can get the year of a UN resolution by adding 1945 to the session
number.
