ASIL
Guide to Electronic Resources for International Law; International
Criminal Law
"When The American Society of International Law was founded
in 1906 by U.S. Secretary of State Elihu Root, its purpose was to
educate and engage the public in international law, and to expand
its frontiers as a vehicle for resolving disputes and international
conflict. Since then, the ASIL's mission has remained the same,
while the world has changed dramatically. International law is now
not only for government. International law is a factor in economics,
trade, the environment, communications, transportation, health and
human rights."
The
Avalon Project : Laws of War
"The Avalon Project will mount digital documents relevant to
the fields of Law, History, Economics, Politics, Diplomacy and Government.
We do not intend to mount only static text but rather to add value
to the text by linking to supporting documents expressly referred
to in the body of the text.
The Avalon Project will no doubt contain controversial documents.
Their inclusion does not indicate endorsement of their contents
nor sympathy with the ideology, doctrines, or means employed by
their authors. They are included for balance and because in some
cases they are by our definition a supporting document."

Rights Internet - A Human Rights Gateway
"HRI is dedicated to the empowerment of human rights activists
