One of the primary texts that must be considered with regard to IEL research consists of international agreements, such as treaties, conventions, etc. This section provides researchers with some ideas and databases to help locate treaties. 

In addition to treaties, conventions, etc., researchers may also find it necessary to review the legislation of a particular nation. This section will help researchers to locate the legislation of foreign nations.
