The Law Library now provides access to more international law content online!
Two new modules available in the Oxford Reports on International Law Database:
Oxford Reports on International Criminal Law ('ICL')
ICL focuses on decisions from a range of international criminal courts and tribunals, and covers decisions from the four main international criminal tribunals: International Criminal Court; International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia; and the Special Court for Sierra Leone. ICL also includes decisions from post-WWII military tribunals such as the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg and the follow-up trials held under Control Council Law No 10. In the future, Oxford anticipates the inclusion of decisions from the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia as they become available, and an increasing amount of case law from the International Criminal Court as more Situations and Cases come on stream.
Oxford Reports on International Human Rights Law ('IHRL')
IHRL covers international decisions on human rights from a variety of global and regional courts, including selected cases on the European Convention on Human Rights, and final decisions from the four UN Committees which are able to deliver views in individual cases (Committee Against Torture; Committee for the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women; Committee for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination; and Human Rights Committee).Oxford anticipates that coverage within IHRL will extend shortly after launch to include decisions from the Inter-American system, and decisions under the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights.
Max Planck Encyclopedia of Public International Law
The Max Planck Encyclopedia of Public International Law is a fully updated online edition of the Encyclopedia of Public International Law published in print between 1991 and 2001 under the general editorship of Rudolf Bernhardt. The online edition went live in August 2008 with over 450 articles. New material is added quarterly and the project is expected to reach completion in 2010. The online edition will include search functionality and click-through cross references to other Encyclopedia entries as well as related content in the online service Oxford Reports on International Law.
