• LibGuide

  

  We recommend that you use this LibGuide to find resources related to human rights. The guide is produced by the librarians at the Raoul Wallenberg Institute with the ambition to facilitate studies and research on human rights. Most of the resources are related to international human rights law. The guide contains relevant databases, subject guides on human rights and humanitarian law, links to courts and tribunals and case law.

  We don’t recommend you using Libris to search for electronic resources, use Summon instead. LIBRIS is a national search service providing information on titles held by Swedish university and research libraries and contains 6.5 million titles.
