This bibliography lists selected international human rights materials, including some items on refugees and asylum. To locate additional items in the UGA Law Library, use the online catalog, GAVEL. Suggested subject headings for international human rights materials include human rights; refugees; asylum, right of; and war victims legal status laws etc. Also try a GAVEL Word search for relevant terms. If you know the author but do not have the exact title try an Author/Title search; for example, "Author: Lillich, Title Words: human rights." [Note: for works on citizens' rights as established by domestic law and protected by the Constitution, use the GAVEL subject heading civil rights.]
To locate periodical articles, use an index such as LegalTrac, the Index to Legal Periodicals (accessible through GALILEO), or the Index to Foreign Legal Periodicals. Law students and faculty can access Westlaw and Lexis for full-text articles, and Lexis-Nexis Academic Universe, available through GALILEO on the UGA campus only, also provides access to full-text articles. Please do not hesitate to ask a Reference Librarian for assistance in accessing and using these indexes and databases.
The items listed below are divided into five sections:
case reporters;
case books, treatises, practice guides & document compilations;
serials;
bibliographies & research guides; and
online databases
Each of these items can be found in the UGA Law Library or on the World Wide Web.
