A suite of free online materials on English defamation law has been launched by the charity Advocates for International Development (A4ID) in association with Matrix Chambers and with support from the Legal Education Foundation. A4ID hopes the materials will give campaigning and advocacy professionals around the world an insight into how to use the law to promote international development, particularly when exposing corruption and human rights breaches.
