United Nations Launches Online Audiovisual Library of International Law

The Office of Legal Affairs of the United Nations this week launched the Audiovisual Library of International Law which is designed as a teaching and research tool in international law.

The collection consists of three pillars:

• the Historic Archives contain documents and audiovisual materials relating to the negotiation and adoption of significant legal instruments under the auspices of the United Nations and related agencies since 1945
• the Lecture Series features a permanent collection of lectures on virtually every subject of international law given by leading international law scholars and practitioners from different countries and legal systems
• the Research Library provides links to treaties, jurisprudence, publications and documents, scholarly writings and research guides.
