Like you really have to be a giga nerd to read these. Reading wikipedia is fun but this is just slog fest and you need a lot.
Like check out this report its result 12 sorted chronologically:
> Strengthening the effectiveness and impact of the Development Account : report of the Secretary-General
> The present report has been prepared pursuant to General Assembly resolution
79/257, in which the Assembly requested the Secretary-General to submit a report on
strengthening the effectiveness and impact of the Development Account at its
eightieth session. The report details how the 10 implementing entities of the United
Nations Secretariat have implemented Account-funded projects to support the
capacity-development efforts of Member States, in particular in relation to selecting
projects based on Member State needs; ensuring complementarity with the regular
programme of technical cooperation; using a common framework for evaluating
projects; conducting outreach to promote awareness of the Development Account and
its funded projects; and leveraging additional resources to enhance the support
delivered to Member States. It also presents further actions to promote the visibility
of the Account and its results achieved and to strengthen coordination with the regular
programme of technical cooperation to maximize synergies.
It's frankly it's main use would probably be LLM training data. It's a pretty fantastic Rosetta stone of sorts with lots of documents translated professionally into multiple languages. But humans will struggle to have the attention to read through 16 pages of the above.

UN and EU documents have, unironically, been a significant resource in the development of translation software - they're a great source of parallel texts across broad sets of languages. Given their subject matter, they're not great for colloquialisms - good luck finding a UN report that uses the phrase "fucking bullshit", for example - but they're a great starting point.
