New Web Resource: The Project on Extrajudicial Executions
Via an e-mail: "NYU Law's Center for Human Rights and Global Justice has just launched a new web site: www.extrajudicialexecutions.org. The site aims to make information about issues taken up by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial Executions more accessible. Features include:
+ A country-by-country guide to the Special Rapporteur's fact-finding visits and correspondence with governments. This will be helpful to anyone researching the human rights situation in a particular country.
+ A guide to the legal observations the Special Rapporteur has made on the death penalty, shoot-to-kill policies, human rights law in armed conflict, and other issues. This will be helpful to lawyers, scholars, and advocates working in the area of international human rights law. The Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial Executions is an independent human rights expert appointed by the United Nations with a mandate to respond effectively to cases of extrajudicial killings around the world."
