The Death Penalty Project launched a new Web site on December 10 that includes a legal resource data­base with a com­pre­hen­sive list of inter­na­tion­al legal author­i­ties and case law, some dat­ing back to the 19th cen­tu­ry, and detailed head notes for those seek­ing jurispru­dence on crim­i­nal, con­sti­tu­tion­al, and inter­na­tion­al points of law. Users can search for case ref­er­ences by sub­ject mat­ter and a sophis­ti­cat­ed case index.

The site is locat­ed at www​.death​penal​typro​ject​.org. The Death Penalty Project is an inter­na­tion­al human rights orga­ni­za­tion that pro­vides free legal rep­re­sen­ta­tion to the many indi­vid­u­als fac­ing the death penal­ty in the Caribbean and Africa, and works to ensure com­pli­ance with region­al and inter­na­tion­al human rights standards.
