Due Process

New U.N. Rule of Law site

March 18, 2010 · Marylin J. Raisch

Susan Kurtas of the Legal Branch of the U.N. Dag Hammarskjöld Library announced this month the debut of a new web site and searchable document repository on the Rule of Law, United Nations Rule of Law.
 The document repository section contains
"...official and unofficial published documents on rule of law issues including General Assembly resolutions, reports, norms and standards, guidance materials, training materials and programming, lessons learned and evaluation documents."
A search for "corruption" brings up 25 documents that include guidelines and reports as well as primary texts, such as the  2003 e-book guidelines under the U.N. Convention against Corruption. This new site should benefit research in this area, which tends to require searching across several types of documents and jurisdictions; here the materials are conveniently gathered in one place, and even if not exhaustive, it is a good place for researchers to start.
