Upgrade Storage[mlz] Citing United Nations 'General Comments' in OSCOLA
I am aware that MLZ OSCOLA has limited support for UN documents but it is very close to getting the citations for General Comments right and I wonder if anyone has any tips for one minor issue.
After some experimentation, I find that if I enter these as 'Manuscripts' and use the 'Archive' and 'Location in Archive' fields to record the UN document number, I get a citation like
UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, ‘General Comment No. 5: Persons with Disabilities’ (1994) UN Doc, E/1995/22.
This is almost correct - all that is wrong is the comma after 'UN Doc'. I know I can manually edit this so that it is correct, but this means that any changes I make in the database will require manual changes in the document, which I would prefer to avoid. Is there any way to automatically suppress that last comma?
Thanks.
