Published by LLRX.com (described in the April 7, 2000 _Scout Report) on April 17, this guide was created by Anne Burnett, the Reference/ Foreign & International Law Librarian at the University of Georgia School of Law Library. The Council of Europe (CoE), created in 1949 and now comprised of 41 member states, "plays an important role strengthening democracy, human rights, the rule of law and Europe's cultural heritage in its Member States." Anyone interested in researching the Council and its decisions or actions will want to begin with this well-organized and comprehensive guide, which points readers to a wealth of online resources for official information and publications. Clearly written and thoroughly hyperlinked, the guide covers the major institutions of the CoE and their documents as well as selected Council of Europe entities, conventions, and Websites, sorted by subjects such as bioethics, cultural affairs, human rights, and environment, among others.
