International Law The resources listed on this page cover links to important sites for research in international law as a general subject, with some links specifically to sites emphasizing each of its two branches, public and private international law. These sites would include information about treaties, intergovernmental organizations, and some secondary interpretive material as well. Foreign and comparative law, however, are not the focus of these sites. Separate resource lists exist for international trade, human rights, arbitration, and intellectual property, all of which contain international as well as Canadian sources for those specific topics.
