  • the Council of Europe: official deeds and topical publications, particularly on human rights, integration policy, etc. 
  • regional development banks (the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the Asian Development Bank, etc.)
Readers have free access to indexes, bibliographies, and glossaries to help them locate documents.
