unjuris

Search the U.N. Jurisprudence Database

Description

The jurisprudence database is intended to be a single source of the human rights recommendations and findings issued by all above committees in their work on individual cases. It enables the general public, governments, civil society organizations, United Nations partners and international regional mechanisms to research the vast body of legal interpretation of international human rights law as it has evolved over the past years. Tools are provided to search and retrieve search results from the datbase.

• get_details: Retrieve details (document links) from a jurisprudence record entry
