This material may be searched using interactive software.
• Online access to fulltext material. This material has been selected and uploaded to fill lacunae that are apparent in the range of material already available from other resources on the Web. Such material includes older material (e.g. the Geneva Protocol and Convention that date from the 1920's) and material from Africa (the statutes of Zambia and Zimbabwe were recently loaded), but also areas of special interest (not least the UNCITRAL Model Law).

This material can be searched by use of ht.dig software.

• The ability to participate in cooperative research along with other members of the global community. This can range from short-term queries to major long-term projects, with results confined to participating organisations/practices or published more generally.

Available techniques include desk-based research, postal surveys, telephone and other electronic surveys, face-to-face interviews, and structured group discussions.

The aim of interarb's services is to allow users to compete effectively and to better practise in the dynamic global environment.

In a world where great differences in the availability of resources occurs we wish to maintain the policy of supplying as much information as possible electronically and automatically, and above all without charge to the user. This philosophy guided EUROPEAN ARBITRATION which was distributed without charge for over forty issues now (and is still avaimable without charge to students and to readers in developing and transitional economies), it is also the basis of the WWW Virtual Library project of which we are proud to be a member.

Other services will be charged for on a realistic basis.
