Auf der Homepage unserer Abteilung finden Sie zahlreiche nützliche Links für die wissenschaftliche Recherche: http://intlaw.univie.ac.at/links/

Für die völkerrechtliche Literatursuche sind folgende Datenbanken besonders empfehlenswert:

- OPAC (Bibliothekskatalog des Max-Planck-Instituts für ausländisches öffentliches Recht und Völkerrecht, http://www.mpil.de/ww/en/pub/library/catalogues_databases.cfm )

- und der Katalog der Bibliothek des Friedenspalastes (http://www.ppl.nl )

Da diese Datenbanken die neuesten Erscheinungen nicht erfassen, sollten Sie auch unbedingt die letzten Ausgaben der wichtigsten völkerrechtlichen Zeitschriften konsultieren, entweder in der Papierversion in der Bibliothek oder im Internet für die Online-Zeitschriften (z.B. EJIL, Links auf unserer Homepage).
