New subscription – Oxford Reports on International Law
Database
MRU Library
Discover our new database, tailored for legal professionals, students, and all those passionate about international law. The Oxford Reports on International Law (ORIL) database brings together a wider range of cases with expert analysis and commentary. It contains coverage of International courts and tribunals, Domestic courts, and International ad hoc tribunals. With reports on over 5,500 cases, ORIL is now rightly regarded as a must-have resource for the international law researcher.
Case reports contain the full text of each decision, headnote, as well as analytical commentary and English translations of a number of key non-English decisions.
MRU Library’s ORIL subscription covers six modules:
- International Criminal Law - cases from the International Criminal Court, the International Criminal Tribunals for Rwanda and the Former Yugoslavia, the Nuremberg International Military Tribunal, the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia, the Special Court for Sierra Leone and other institutions.
- International Human Rights Law – cases from the African Commission and African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights, the East African Community, ECOWAS, the Southern African Development Community, the European Court of Human Rights, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, several UN committees and other bodies.
- International Law in Domestic Courts – international law cases from almost 100 different jurisdictions, ranging from Argentina to Zimbabwe. Scholarly analysis is provided for each case and, where the judgment is not in English, key passages are translated.
- International Trade Law - compiles and analyses key judgments of the WTO and regional trade organizations like NAFTA, EFTA, ASEAN, and MERCOSUR from the perspective of international law. Each report includes the full text of the judgment, an overview of the facts and the panel or tribunal’s conclusion, and detailed analysis.
