Online guide to the legal issues surrounding the Darfur crisis written by Amy Burchfield who is Access and Faculty Services Librarian at the Cleveland-Marshall College of Law Library in the United States. The guide was published in May 2009 (and updated in 2023) on the Globalex website and made freely available by the Hauser Global Law School Program at the New York University School of Law. The guide provides background information to the civil conflict in the Darfur region of Sudan and highlights "key online and print resources discussing the legal aspects of the Darfur crisis". There are references to publications discussing whether the violence constitutes genocide and links to international human rights treaties Sudan is a party to. There is a section on the involvement of the International Criminal Court in charging members of the Sudanese government with war crimes and crimes against humanity. Other sections deal with violence against women and the position of refugees and Internally Displaced Persons. There are also references and links to sources of general information on Sudan and human rights reports on Sudan.
