A recent addition to the legal blogosphere is the Francophone blog La Revue de Presse Juridique. Initially a hardcopy newsletter within the French armed forces legal service, it has (since a few months) gone online as a blog. As such it “scrutinizes the integration of law into the conduct of warfare” and aims to “develop dialogue and cooperation between researchers and officials engaged in international humanitarian law practice.”
