Hey I just got an email with some important information about a new website for Human Rights Resources. It looks pretty useful:
Human Rights Tools
We would like to tell you about a new website for human rights professionals called
Human Rights Tools.
It offers four services:
1. A library of carefully selected and commented resources:
http://www.humanrightstools.org/index.htm
You will find:
– monitoring and fact-finding tools, advocacy tools and other essential resources
for human rights work
– thematic resources on the protection of detainees, human rights defenders,
refugees, and more
– the top online databases for resources on human rights law, refugee law and
humanitarian law
… and much more. We have even set up a section called “Your career” where you will
find job vacancies and training opportunities:

2. Key resources for country analysis:
http://www.humanrightstools.org/countryanalysis.htm
To rapidly establish the human rights profile of a particular country and to
facilitate analysis and follow-up of developments, you can draw on a number of
resources listed here: the situation in terms of human rights, political and
conflict analysis, the economics, the legal instruments which that country has
ratified, and human rights-relevant news.
3. Daily updated human rights headlines:
