International Human Rights Law

This guide will provide you with a brief overview of how to do research on International Human Rights at this library. Research in international law can be daunting, since only selected materials can be found in the Westlaw and Lexis databases that often form the starting point for legal research. Research in International Human Rights law is often even more of a challenge, since key materials often are not classified as “legal” materials at all but rather as belonging to the fields of international relations, foreign politics, economics, social science, education, health, ethics, and so on. This document maps out where you can go to find key materials. It is not a complete list, but it should point you in the right direction.
