ARTICLE 19 has recently updated its Virtual Freedom of Expression Handbook, making it one of the most comprehensive internet-based resources on laws pertaining to freedom of expression. Using the handbook's handy search engine, readers can access summaries of all the free-expression related legal cases decided by the European Court of Human Rights and the United Nations Human Rights Committee. Important cases handled by the Inter-American Commission and Court of Human Rights, the African Commission on Human and People's' Rights and various national courts are also accessible. ARTICLE 19 also provides detailed legal analyses of several key topics, such as defamation, national security and the Internet. Suggestions and contributions to the handbook are welcome.
