Our main initiative is the Global Case Law Database, which is an open access resource for a broad audience of stakeholders working on freedom of expression. It is supported by a network of international experts. It surveys jurisprudence around the world, critically reviews exemplary cases, engages in comparative analysis, and aims to identify national, regional and global trends. Versions of the database are also available in Spanish, French, Russian, Arabic, and Portuguese. To show how the database works, we developed videos in English (below), Spanish, French, Russian, Arabic, and Portuguese featuring high-profile members of the judiciary or an expert on freedom of expression explaining how the database is an important tool that will help users improve their understanding of legal developments globally.
