A database is an organised collection of books, journals, reviews, abstracts, conference proceedings and other information that has been checked for accuracy and reliability by publishers, then licensed for distribution in an online or electronic format.
These are the core databases, which the library subscribes to for your research needs:

This is a fully updated online edition of the Encyclopedia of Public International Law published in print between 1991 and 2001 under the general editorship of Rudolf Bernhardt.
This database covers case law from international courts and dispute settlement bodies, in addition to states and certain territorial entities that are not generally classified as states.
