Oxford University Press Makes Part of its Collection Free for 75th Anniversary of the United Nations

 Later this month, the United Nations will officially celebrate its 75th birthday.

Oxford Public International Law, part of Oxford University Press, is marking the occasion by making UN-related materials available for free until November 30, 2020:

"This United Nations Day (24 October 2020) marks the 75th anniversary of the entry into force of the UN Charter. In recognition of this milestone we have created a collection of articles and chapters that provide commentary on the role of the UN in international law over the past 75 years, and its significance to the development of global human rights and international peace and security."

"All content featured below from Oxford Scholarly Authorities on International Law, the Max Planck Encyclopedias of International Law, and Oxford Scholarship Online, is free to access until 30 November 2020."

 Another interesting collection comes from the Dag Hammarskjöld Library at UN headquarters in New York which has created an online exhibit called 75 Years, 75 Documents to celebrate the occasion. The exhibit is meant as "an exploration of 75 key documents that have shaped the United Nations and our world. The documents selected honour the historic breadth of the Organization’s work in the areas of peace and security, humanitarian assistance, development and human rights."
