New Site: Human Rights Tools

Human Rights Tools is a newly launched web site that offers up the following features:

- An electronic library with annotated links organized under these categories: Investigating Country Conditions, Monitoring/Documentation/Advocacy, Using the Law, Specific Issues & Population Groups, Tech for Human Rights, Humanitarian Protection, Planning & Fundraising, and Your Career. The collection grew out of a compilation of resources that the web site creators found most useful in their work with the International Committee of the Red Cross.

- Human rights headlines from six different sources. RSS newsfeeds for each are also provided.

[Note: The "Resources for Country Analysis" page, accessed via the "Investigating Country Conditions" category mentioned in the library above, also highlights the availability of RSS feeds.]

- A newsletter that provides "updates on new tools and resources." No issues are available yet for perusing, but visitors can subscribe to receive upcoming editions.
