United Nations Creates Online Audiovisual Library of International Law

The UN Office of Legal Affairs Codification Division has launched a pilot project of the Audiovisual Library of International Law.

According to the introduction:

"This new on-line version of the Audiovisual Library of International Law is designed as a teaching and research tool in international law and consists of three main components: (i) historic archives containing material relating to select historical developments in the field of international law within the framework or under the auspices of the United Nations; (ii) a permanent collection of scholarly lectures by internationally recognized experts in international law; and (iii) a research library containing links to primary and secondary sources of international law. "

The initiative is still very much a pilot project. The site mentions that the launch of the online AV Library will be in October 2008.
