Audiovisual Library of International Law
The UN Office of Legal Affairs recently launched an audiovisual library of international law. The cornerstone of the library is a lecture series that covers most international law subjects. Currently, under "International Migration Law," visitors will find two lectures by Guy Goodwin-Gill, entitled respectively "International Migration Law: An Introduction" and "Forced Migration - The Evolution of International Refugee Law and Organization." Two additional lectures by Prof. Goodwin-Gill are forthcoming. Other forthcoming relevant lectures will be presented by Jan Egeland and Margareta Wahlström on disaster relief and Walter Kälin on IDPs, among others.
The library also offers an "Historic Archives" section, that includes an entry for "refugees and stateless persons." There, visitors will find an introductory note by Prof. Goodwin-Gill on the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol, which includes a procedural history, links to related documents, and information on the instruments' status. Two additional introductions will be made available on the two conventions relating to statelessness and stateless persons.

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has made its field research available at a new site. Published research and commentary can be accessed topically (for example, "emergencies/refugees"), or by title, author or journal. A separate section houses conference abstracts. Visitors can subscribe to the RSS feed in order to keep track of new additions to the site.
