New Additions to the UN Audiovisual Library of International Law

The Codification Division of the UN Office of Legal Affairs Affairs is pleased to announce the completion of the International Law Handbook, which contains a collection of instruments used by the Codification Division as study materials for its training courses under the Programme of Assistance in the Teaching, Study, Dissemination and Wider Appreciation of International Law. This publication was prepared to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the establishment of the Programme in 2015 and to promote the teaching and dissemination of international law around the world. The International Law Handbook is intended to be used as a general work of reference and comprises four books, which can be accessed under the Research Library pillar of the UN Audiovisual Library of International Law website free of charge.

Additionally, a new lecture has been added to the UN Audiovisual Library of International Law website by ICC Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda on "The Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court: Successes, Challenges and the Promise of International Criminal Justice."
