A daily email from UN Wire is a great complement to the postings found
on the Jurist blog. The UN wire is a compilation of articles from various
sources such as The New York Times, the BBC, The Associated Press, The Wall
Street Journal, Al-Jezeera, AlertNet/Reuters, The Guardian, and many other
sources. If you are short of time, but would like to keep up on world events,
this is an excellent way to do it. Some of the categories include: United Nations, Health & Development,
Climate and Energy, Peacekeeping and Security, and Environment. The
categories vary depending on the news of the day.
While not
necessarily a legal website, the UN Wire will help to provide the context in
which legal issues are happening.
