New Guide to Electronic Resources for IHRL

The American Society of International Law (ASIL) launched a new guide to electronic resources for International Human Rights Law (IHRL).

This guide provides a useful overview of electronic sources available for international human rights, regardless of the format. It includes general tips for doing research as well as for locating necessary documents and materials. It provides pointers on where to start: Bibliographic Databases and Online Catalogs, Research Guides and Bibliographies and Periodical Indexes.

The scope encompasses both primary sources on human rights instruments and jurisprudence, and secondary sources (including documents from non-governmental organizations and country reports) and concludes with links to other relevant websites.

The emphasis is on English-language materials, but the availability of resources in other languages is noted.

If you want to know more, visit the ASIL web site at the following link and enjoy it!
