The Damocles Network, the legal arm of Reporters Without Borders, is launching a new site in French and English entitled Toolbox. Designed for professionals but also for the use of anyone interested in freedom of expression www.damocles.org carries basic texts that guarantee press freedom along with extracts from codes of ethics. The site also offers publications that can be downloaded like the Practical Guide for Journalists and the Charter for the Safety of Journalists working in War Zones or Dangerous Areas. An International Justice section offers a Guide to the International Criminal Court for the use of victims and advises on legal procedures to put together a case for anyone who is a victim of an international crime. Freelance journalists covering foreign stories will find practical information on low cost insurance policies and the loan of flak jackets from Reporters Without Borders.
