Hello,

We would like to tell you about a new website for human rights professionals
called Human Rights Tools.

It offers four services:

1. A library of carefully selected and commented resources:
http://www.humanrightstools.org/index.htm

You will find:
- monitoring and fact-finding tools, advocacy tools and other essential
resources for human rights work
- thematic resources on the protection of detainees, human rights defenders,
refugees, and more
- the top online databases for resources on human rights law, refugee law and
humanitarian law

... and much more. We have even set up a section called "Your career" where 
you will find job vacancies and training opportunities:
http://www.humanrightstools.org/dcd/8_Your_career/


2. Key resources for country analysis:
http://www.humanrightstools.org/countryanalysis.htm

To rapidly establish the human rights profile of a particular country and to
facilitate analysis and follow-up of developments, you can draw on a number 
of resources listed here: the situation in terms of human rights, political 
and conflict analysis, the economics, the legal instruments which that country
has ratified, and human rights-relevant news.


3. Daily updated human rights headlines:
http://www.humanrightstools.org/rssnews.htm

This page will provide you with fresh human rights news from a selection of 
top sources - all on one convenient page and updated automatically every time
you visit. We currently list headlines from the following sources: Human 
Rights Watch, Amnesty, FIDH, Human Rights Listings, Reliefweb, Inter Press
Service. Be sure to bookmark this page!


4. Our newsletter:

available on the Internet.

Best regards,

Daniel D'Esposito
