Why publish your research data in a proper repository like Zenodo, not a on a fancy institutional website?

I was looking to access the UN Peace Missions Mandate dataset for some analysis. When I checked https://www.peacemissions.info it was gone. Timed out.

I have no idea if it's temporarily down or down forever or what has happened.

It's not accessible elsewhere as far as I can tell, so the analysis is not happening.
