Law: Human Rights

This guide provides an overview of resources available for the study of human rights law.

Welcome to the Human Rights Law Guide

This guide's purpose is to provide broad research resources, tools, and methods for studying human rights. It doesn't go into great length about protecting individual groups' human rights or special rights and freedoms.

The University of the Western Cape Library tries to make your research process easier by providing access to databases and other resources that are useful and covered by the library (through a subscription or open access).
